Abstract

This research focused on the educational context of social media in a South Pacific regional university –
USP (University of the South Pacific). This paper looks at how Facebook can be used for
knowledge sharing, collaboration and interaction and learner-centered activities with students of
different gender, age, country of origin and time spent on social networking sites. This study is
useful in setting the premise for future large scale empirical research. Tertiary institutes, scholars
and educators will benefit from this research.
