Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Social Media As A Supplementary Resource In Blended Learning: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Because of the exponential rise of the internet and the use of computers since the 1990s, the information era that we are now living in is characterized by a number of distinguishing characteristics. The worldwide reach of each of these entities is rapidly growing. In addition, communities are altered by proliferation. Over the course of the last several years, the area of education has undergone significant transformations, which coincide with the rapid development of technology. Parents had a difficult time motivating their children to finish their school while the pandemic was going on. There have been a number of stakeholders engaged in educational institutions that have expressed their concerns as a consequence of the transition to online mode. The first problem was that teachers were unable to conduct one-on-one interactions with the parents of the students. Furthermore, when it comes to instructing students via the internet technique, substantial training is required. The majority of users utilize social media via communicating with one another, making new friends, and sharing material with one another. On the other hand, the inclusion of social media platforms in educational settings has recently emerged as a controversial issue. The websites that are used for social networking are flexible and easy to navigate. The final consequence is that they are easier to use than other learning management systems that are currently available.
