Abstract: This study investigated the use of social media by college students for educational or learning purposes. The interest in this research is in functioning social media to successfully help college students to enhance their learning. Today, social media is playing an important role in daily communication among people all over the world. The researchers hypothesized whether social media has potential impact on academic learning positively or negatively based on students’ perceptions. This study sought to understand how students informally use social media and what implications such uses predict for the potential integration of social media as a formalized learning tool within college classroom settings.
