Abstract

With the growing pervasiveness of social media use among college students, instructors are considering how to incorporate social media elements into their courses. For online and hybrid courses where face-to-face interaction is limited or lacking, social media has the ability to develop virtual communities of practice and involve students with each other, with the content, and with their instructor in a digital space. This study investigated students' perceptions of using a closed Facebook group to supplement instruction in online and hybrid courses in the business and education disciplines. As a result of the cross-case analysis, a better understanding of how Facebook enhanced the students' course learning experience was gained and suggestions for future Facebook group pages were generated.
