Hi,

May be this paper could help:

Using Facebook as a co-learning community in higher education

By: Cuesta, Marta; Eklund, Monica; Rydin, Ingegerd; et al.

LEARNING MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY Volume: 41 Issue: 1 Special Issue: SI Pages: 55-72 Published: JAN 2 2016

Context Sensitive Links Close AbstractClose Abstract

Students' cultural capital plays a major role in their success in higher education. In Sweden today, many students come from diverse cultural, social and educational backgrounds. Knowledge of requirements in academic systems differs widely. Some students feel insecure about how to interpret academic codes, thus weakening these students' opportunities for academic success. The major goal of this project was to lay the groundwork for a more equal educational system. Using social media, in this case conversations (e.g., chats) in a closed forum on Facebook monitored by a tutor, we aimed to improve student integration into academic culture. We differentiated two central themes related to student conversations on Facebook: (1) Access to academic habitus - cracking codes and (2) Emancipation by co-learning - extended academic codes. It was found that students participating in study groups created on Facebook learnt to better crack and extend the codes extant in university studies.

Hello, thank you Avishag.

Hello Bernard, I have done some research on the topic hope it helps.

Dear Bernard,

I use Twitter to support medical students and have an article on early view in Anatomical Sciences Education (see attachment). There is also a paper on Facebook use in anatomy education in the same journal by Jaffar 2014 that you could use.

Hope this helps

Catherine 

Have you done a state of art with ISI web of Knowledge? It has some functionalities that can be useful for your approach.

Hello, Bernard

I examined a study by N du Plessis in 2012 on the following topic:

Facebook in Higher Education: An auto-ethnographic journey venturing into edusocial space

I'm sure you'll find it if you Google it.
