Faceworking: Exploring Students' Education-Related Use of "Facebook".
TLDR
In this article, the authors present an in-depth qualitative analysis of the Facebook "wall" activity of 909 undergraduate students in a UK university and find that much of students' education-related use of this social networking application was based around either the post-hoc critiquing of learning experiences and events, the exchange of logistical or factual information about teaching and assessment requirements, instances of supplication and moral support with regards to assessment or learning, or the promotion of oneself as academically incompetent and/or disengaged.Citations
