Co-Construction Concept Through Cloud-Based Social Network Platform Design, Implementation, and Evaluation

Today’s learners can easily share their thoughts on their social networks, and this movement, undoubtedly, has been affecting their learning. However, learners in such an ad hoc social network environment need a deliberate design to support their idea sharing and concept exchange. Gaining insights i...
