Knowledge sharing mechanism in social networking for learning

Social media based learning resources are powerful tools for enhancing teaching and research activities in the university education system. This paper focuses on the development of a prototype web based learning resource with the purpose for users to exchange project software development knowledge. This study explores the efficiency of social networking systems as instructional tools in the computer science program at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. A database containing information from 1,497 subjects was developed and linked in the Computer-Project-Community site. Extensive experiments including test, real task evaluation and application performance were determined. The web based application correlates with the level of user satisfaction (average score of 4.173), suggesting that social media integration substantially improves learning and knowledge sharing. This system can be used for the virtual web community and collaborative learning.
