Abstract
It is impossible to deny the role social media plays in the lives of our students. University systems for communication among faculty and with students, such as Moodle and Blackboard, have a hard time keeping up in student appeal and ease of operations, and thus, it is appropriate to review how these new methods of connecting affect education. Social media clearly adds new methodologies to the way we interact, in quality, quantity and speed. In this review of the use of Facebook in several small (20–40 students) classes at a leading management school in New Zealand, we assess the level of technology use and specifically the use of Facebook for communication and tests. A total of 169 students provided feedback on how they perceived the value of Facebook as part of their graduate school education in management. They voted Facebook over all other available electronic media as suitable for online quizzes. We conclude that using Facebook for some teaching applications is more promising than some of the other university-based intranet services.
