Abstract : This paper discusses about the project implementation of social networking site for teaching and learning purposes. The type of social space available to users can provide a more personalized and interactive experience for educative purpose. The growing demand of engineers in the industry makes it very important for the students to know about the practical use of technologies that are taught in the college and also to know about the latest technology and projects that the industry works with. Thus, a platform where students can interact with the industry professionals would prove to be a great benefit for them. In this project a social networking site exclusive for the college has been created whereby students, faculty and selective people from the industry would be able to socialize and share their knowledge. Also it would be a hub to share information about all the ongoing activities in the college campus. This paper describes the features implemented in this project and presents a glimpse of how the website works.
? While such research has done an effective job of understanding what technologies exist and how they are used, the question of how they relate to social factors has been difficult to answer.
? Many university units also utilize existing technologies and mainstream services, like social networking sites and other communication mediums, to connect to students.
? While Internet technologies provide connectivity to a large global population, the recent trend has been to use these technologies to improve interconnectedness within existing relationships.
? Some research, however, suggests that there exist some limits to these positive gains, wherein individuals can overuse the Internet, leading to negative gains in many areas.
? This social networking site focuses on collaborative teaching and learning, the above mentioned research has been done to come across the positive and negative impacts of SNSs which formed the basis to assist us in regulating our SNS.
? The study that follows first examines literature relevant to the issues of online technologies and socialization of college students.
? One difficulty in this study stems from drawing connections between technology use and issues such as persistence and retention.
? In other words, issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression have less of an impact on college adjustment and psychological well-being when an individual has a strong social support network.
• It is therefore a concept that is difficult to objectively quantify; as a result, researchers have sought to measure these perceptions among individuals for comparative purposes.
• Researchers often believed that the purpose of social support was to serve as a buffer for the effects of other psychological factors, such as stress, depression, and others, in order to diminish or remove their effects entirely on factors such as college adjustment and psychological well-being.
• This is important to note, as the purpose of Internet technologies must be taken into account when considering their impacts on any population.
? This is the major advantage of this project as it will promote the students and faculty alike to strengthen their educational communications and collaborations.
? The effects of social interaction and social support on college student success, retention, academic performance, and other outcomes are profound.
? In measuring feelings of belonging within classes and institutions alongside academic motivations and performance, they found a positive correlation between both senses of belonging and academic motivation.
? This indicates that these variables, including integration, have a significant relationship with academic performance.
