Abstract

This research paper investigates the effects of social media integration on student engagement and collaborative learning within higher education. By employing a case study approach, the research explores how various social media platforms facilitate communication, collaboration, and engagement among students in academic settings. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and observations of students and faculty members across multiple institutions. The findings suggest that social media can significantly enhance student engagement and foster collaborative learning, although challenges such as digital literacy and information overload were also identified. This paper concludes with recommendations for effective social media integration in higher education.
