| Title: Improving Students’ Engagement in Flipped Classes using Social Media | |
| Abstract: This study aims to demonstrate the potentials of using Facebook to improve the students’ engagements with the flipped learning materials through implementation of socially enabled peer tutoring. The present work deploys four classes of flipped learning in a second year Information System undergraduate course. While the materials were given to the students prior to each flipped class, two of these expected the students to practice the materials in online quizzes and two in the discussions available on Facebook of the course. The article looks at comparing the correlations between the learning outcomes with online quizzes as well as with Facebook engagement of students. The findings show that although the learning outcomes are correlated with the both of these two interventions, the students’ engagement on Facebook has a stronger correlation with the learning outcomes in the flipped classes. The study also reports the lessons learned in deploying Facebook group to implement peer tutoring in flipped classes. The results have been discussed in the lens of Theory of Peer Learning and the future avenues of research have been suggested. This study also motivates teaching practitioners in Information Systems to improve flipped learning by the use of social networking sites in their courses. | |
