Abstract

This case study explores the affordances of a specific Facebook group created by college students, as perceived by the group members. The main focus is to investigate if Facebook groups have an educational value. Furthermore, three secondary research topics emerged: comparison of the group's perceived affordances of faculty as opposed to the ones of students; comparison of the group's perceived affordances with the ones of Blackboard LMS; and comparison of the group's perceived affordances with the ones of a standard mailing list.
