I started implemented mobile applications in my learning and teaching from the year 2011 – the same time I embarked on Facebooking type of research. During the learning process, students borrowed iPads which I bought using the university grant that I secured for mobile apps research purposes. To ensure that students use the mobile applications, discussions on learning and teaching activities are conducted through the Facebook Group set-up by me and my research students.

The use of Facebook is particularly suitable for courses at the Masters level – where the students are mostly part-timers. Through Facebook, students can ask questions at anytime and anywhere, whereas class instructor can answer those questions while waiting for a traffic light to change, during meetings, waiting for flights, when on vacation and so on.

The use of mobile apps and Facebook in learning and teaching helps me a lot in terms of monitoring my students’ learning progress, especially when I am busy with the administrative position. Facebook also enables information sharing, learning with peers, motivation support and etc. to be implemented.
