Abstract
Given the massive uptake in the domain of information and communication technology, there is great potential for integrating social media technologies with learning processes at universities. Social Network Sites (SNS), e.g. Twitter and Facebook, have been used in various educational activities. However, the use of such sites in educational activities is still generic often confining itself to aspects related to creating module notebooks. Hence, this study aims to employ SNS, and more specifically the features of Twitter, in the educational process so as to make it more effective than has been the case hitherto. Mobile technologies have also formed the basis for innovative note-taking solutions to be used by students in the classroom to cover the shortcomings of traditional notes. Based on mobile technologies and SNS features, this study proposes an architecture that provides undergraduate students with a new innovative note-taking tool. The architecture has been proposed to fit the students’ needs at higher education level as regards their note-taking practice. The proposed architecture was built based on a MVC three tier model that is used for interaction application. This issue has not been investigated in the literature and thus its usefulness to the learning process is still unexplored.
