ABSTRACT

Facebook Social Media today plays a vital role in our society, especially during the pandemic season. Most of us use Facebook as an alternative tool for communication and also served as the e-Learning Platform. After the declaration of suspension of classes last March 16, 2020, there is no way to hold face to face class instruction or rather the traditional classroom, good thing is that I have started creating a Facebook group chat with all my classes at the college level and graduate school level. Moreover, The study can be used to improve the use of Facebook social media tool like for teaching and learning purposes. This is the study which analyzed Facebook implementation for academic purposes by using a linear and nonlinear modelling. , (Sharma, Joshi, & Sharma, 2016).1
