Mobile Social Media for a Private Higher Education Institution in South Africa
Proceedings of 6th ICPCA 2011, 2011Co-Authors: Liza KriekAbstract:The use of social media is growing exponentially. All kinds of businesses, seeking competitive advantage, are looking at what social media can offer them. The most obvious benefits seem to concern the communication and connectivity of social media. The question is whether private Higher Education Institutions in South Africa are keeping up with these changes. This study investigates whether a private Higher Education Institution in South Africa is using social media for business or Educational purposes. The literature states that many businesses and Educational Institutions are trying to draw on the benefits of social media. The study discovers that there are mixed feelings about using socially-focused technologies for professional purposes, and that technologies are not yet used to their full potential at the Institution. The potential benefits that social media hold are recognised, and recommendations for using social media at the institute are made. However, the main challenge is the lack of fixed line Internet connectivity. The study discovers that the use of social media is not linked to the level of IT expertise. Interestingly most people access the social media through wireless connections, with mobile phones being the most popular access device. This is aligned with increasing mobile phone penetration in South Africa. The connectivity mobile phones offer is therefore replacing what would have been done on a fixed line connection. As people are using their mobile phones on a regular basis in South Africa to communicate, their use to access social media comes almost naturally. Using social media on a mobile phone almost makes the use of technology ubiquitous. Combining the benefits of mobile technologies with that of social media - utilising, for example, their communication and connectivity - is a great, and very realistic, opportunity for private Higher Educational Institutions in South Africa which should not simply be dismissed.

Social Networks as a Tool for a Higher Education Institution Image Creation
arXiv: Human-Computer Interaction, 2019Co-Authors: Olha Anisimova, Valeriia Vasylenko, Solomia FedushkoAbstract:The article presents the dynamics of social networks users increase, depending on the total world population from 2010 to 2018. It also identifies the most popular social networks in Ukraine. The systematic risk indicator of using social networks relative to the total number of Internet resources users is determined. Types of social intercourse in the process of the Higher Education Institution image creation are presented. The peculiarities of using social networks in the formation of a positive image of an Educational Institution are highlighted. The statistical indicators of user actions in the official group of the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Technologies of Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University in January, February and March 2019 are presented, as well as the average attraction coefficient of users depending on the subject of publications. The main technologies of astroturfing in the creation process of the Higher Education Institution negative image are considered.

Methods for forming an informational image of a Higher Education Institution
2015Co-Authors: Roman Korzh, Solomia Fedushko, Andriy PeleschyshynAbstract:The paper is dedicated to the issues connected with the information al activity of a Higher Education Institution. The methods of acquiring and maintaining a complete informational image of a Higher Education Institution are devised. The ways of a Higher Education Institution positive informational image protection are elaborated. The following stages of an informational image forming are considered: forming of the catalogue of Higher Education Institution units that perform informational activity, forming of the comprehensive thematic description of a Higher Education Institution, forming of the comprehensive register of information potential of a Higher Education Institution, search and identification of information an image generators and existing information image fragments, forming of the structure of the social and inf ormational interfaces system, planning the entrance in generators, preparation of informational resource, entering in generators, realization of social and informational interfaces system, permanent informational activity, comprehensive verification of res ults.

A literature review: efficacy of online learning courses for Higher Education Institution using meta-analysis
Education and Information Technologies, 2019Co-Authors: Mayleen Dorcas B. Castro, Gilbert M. TumibayAbstract:The Internet has made online learning possible, and many educators and researchers are interested in online learning courses to enhance and improve the student learning outcomes while battling the shortage in resources, facilities and equipment particularly in Higher Education Institution. Online learning has become popular because of its potential for providing more flexible access to content and instruction at any time, from any place. It is imperative that the researchers consider, and examine the efficacy of online learning in educating students. For this study, the researchers reviewed literature through meta-analysis as the method of research concerning the use of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) framework for designing and developing instructional materials that can provide wider access to quality Higher Education. This framework can be used to list generic processes that instructional designers and training developers use (Morrison et al., 2010 ). It represents a descriptive guideline for building effective training and performance support tools in five phases, as follows: 1.) Analysis, 2.) Design, 3.) Development, 4.) Implementation, and 5.) Evaluation. The researchers collected papers relating to online learning courses efficacy studies to provide a synthesis of scientifically rigorous knowledge in online learning courses, the researchers searched on ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), ProQuest databases, PubMed, Crossref, Scribd EBSCO, and Scopus. The researchers also conducted a manual search using Google Scholar. Based on the analysis, three main themes developed: 1.) comparison of online learning and traditional face-to-face setting, 2.) identification of important factors of online learning delivery, and 3.) factors of Institutional adoption of online learning. Based on the results obtained 50 articles. The researchers examine each paper and found 30 articles that met the efficacy of online learning courses through having well-planned, well-designed courses and programs for Higher Education Institution. Also, it highlights the importance of instructional design and the active role of Institutions play in providing support structures for educators and students. Identification of different processes and activities in designing and developing an Online Learning Courses for Higher Education Institution will be the second phase of this study for which the researchers will consider using the theoretical aspect of the ADDIE framework.
