Abstract :
Social media are dramatically changing the way we live and make social relationships with others. While students are so immersed in social media in their daily life, social media adoption in classroom has been slow. Educators who wish to experiment with social media for CSCL struggle to find ways to incorporate the expected benefits and advantages of social media to teaching lessons. This paper reports on the experiences of using social media for a business case simulation activity in a higher learning context. Drawing on a qualitative feedback and social media log data of 27 teams of 135 undergraduate students, this paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of social media as a CSCL tool in classroom, especially in the areas of information sharing and social interaction.
