Read moreKnowledge 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.

Read moreSocial Networking Media in Higher Education: A Review
Social media has become a constant presence in the daily lives of young people. As a result, many educational procedures and processes have been influenced by the widespread use of social networks. The number of people using social media has continuously increased. Students’ perceptions on how social media affects their learning is a prominent subject of research. Students’ school achievement has been significantly impacted by their interaction with professors, peers, and online knowledge-sharing behaviors. Several aspects are involved in this review, which aims to shed light on how students use social media in higher education. Findings reveal that the usage of online social media for cooperative learning encourages students to be innovative, dynamic, and research oriented. In other words, it is a matter of academic competence. This study gathered and analyzed social media data in higher education for computing disciplines. Digital libraries from EBSCO, IEEE, and ACM were utilized for data gathering. All of the above traits were found to be positively influenced by social networks, which suggest that their usage in higher education should be broadened.

Read moreDesign a Model-Based on Nonlinear Multiple Regression to Predict the Level of User Satisfaction when Optimizing a Traditional WLAN Using SDWN
Higher education institutions' wireless networks have different roles and network requirements, ranging from educational platforms and informative consultations. Currently, the inefficient use of network resources, poor wireless planning, and other factors, affect having a robust and stable network platform. Different authors have investigated the various strategies for the optimization of wireless infrastructures. Still, most of the cases studied aim to improve traditional performance variables without considering maximizing the level of user satisfaction, which represents a flaw that this research paper hopes to solve through SDWN and a predictive model. The authors will determine an appropriate methodology to estimate the user's level of satisfaction through an algorithm or predictive model based on nonlinear multiple regression supported on network performance variables, making a characterization of the project's environment analyzing the wireless conditions. The investigation phases will follow the life cycle guidelines defined by the Cisco PPDIOO methodology (Prepare, Plan, Design, Implement, Operate, Optimize). As a result, it is expected that the project will be the beginning of academic research that will help create strategies to optimize the WiFi network of any educational institution to maximize user satisfaction. In short, the optimization process provides the network with differentiating factors through a modular design with variable modification of parameters according to the users' requirements and needs.

Read moreFactors affecting social networks acceptance: An extension to the technology acceptance model using PLS-SEM and Machine Learning Approach
Once the university started using social media more, the researchers started focusing more on how social media applications were being adopted and what motivated it without being limited to classrooms only. There is a need to conduct further research about how the utilization of social media to teach in university affects education. Considering this, delving deeper into the educational outcomes and a research model related to the experiences and results of social media use is the aim of this research. Apart from that, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) research that deals with the behavior intention of using social networking media, perceived playfulness, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness has been used for testing what affects the utilization of social media for online-teaching in higher education of United Arab Emirates. There was an assessment of 580 quantitative responses given by university students whose classroom sessions involved using social media. In order to predict the behavioral intention of a pupil for using social networking media for e-learning in the higher education institutions, it is possible to take some help from the factors such as perceived playful-ness, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, as per the partial least squares (PLS) and machine learning evaluation. The suggested model helps teachers to get to know more about how classroom sessions can become more productive through social media usage.
