摘要：Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) is
being applied extensively in education to allow students to obtain
information at anytime from anywhere. Social media is a new
approach that is used to enhance and improve the delivery of
education. Facebook groups and YouTube channels are the most
operated networks that manage to deliver information. In this
paper, we will study the impact of applying Facebook groups and
YouTube videos on students’ academic achievements in
computer programming labs especially in object-oriented
programming 2 (OOP2) lab at the Hashemite University. The
practical programming lab plays an important role in
understanding the theoretical programming concepts, for this
reason programming lab is chosen as a case study. The proposed
methodology embeds the social media networks as new major
dimension in the teaching process of OOP2 Lab side by side with
traditional lectures and e-learning tool such as Moodle. In this
research: three surveys are utilized respectively to inspect the
reasons of the weakness in OOP2 lab, evaluate the course
learning outcomes (CLOs) by students before and after applying
the proposed methodology and to investigate the opinions of
students toward using social media networks within learning
process. The results showed that operating the social media sites
used by students on a daily basis creates a friendly and close
educational environment as well as enhancing the academic
results of students.
