The use of social networks by postsecondary learners in a public face-to-face university

Resum

This paper reports on research into the use of social networks by university students in a public face-to-face university. An interpretivist methodology was used to guide the research and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. Our results show that most students integrate social media applications, especially Facebook and Twitter, into their learning process by sharing with their friends’ class related information.
