The use of social networking sites and Facebook in particular has
also generated negative perspectives. To some, Facebook serves as more
of a distraction than a learning tool (Wise, Skues, & Williams,
2011), which is not an unreasonable deduction since Facebookâs primary
use is as a social connection tool, and not an academic one. There are
also some who wonder why one would choose Facebook over the ubiquitous
Learning Management Systems (LMSs) already in place on most campuses,
and this perspective includes both pro, con, and mixed results. For
example, Meishar-Tal, Kurzs, and Pieterse (2012) studied the use of
Facebook groups in the classroom and found that students expressed
satisfaction with using Facebook in this manner and expressed their
willingness to continue to do so in the future. Maranto & Barton
(2010) acknowledged that the opportunity for learning is present in
social networking sites, and should not be ignored, yet warned of the
dangers of student/teacher âfriendâ relationships on social networking
sites, and pointed out how many students see the encroachment of
education on their social network platforms as a negative experience to
be avoided. Wang, Woo, Choon, Quek, Yang, and Liu (2012) found that
using Facebook groups for learning resulted in overall student
satisfaction accompanied with frustration over Facebookâs privacy
issues, and a lack of functionality for important tasks such as threaded
discussion and multi-format document sharing. The use of Facebook
associated with a course also brings up other problems. For example,
although many students have Facebook accounts, not all do. Because it is
not possible to require students to have a Facebook account,
instructors that use Facebook often also use a university âsanctionedâ
tool such as Blackboard or Moodle. Ensuring that the LMS and Facebook
are synchronized in terms of content can be laborious. This can mean
double the work for the instructor. Privacy can also be an issue
regarding the use of Facebook. Although Facebook does provide an option
to create âsecretâ groups, in which no one outside the group can see who
is in the group, postings, or even that the group exists, some students
may be reticent to join because of their country of origin or even
religious reasons (Ryan et al., 2011).
