Abstract

Higher Education Institutes across the world have started using social media to reach out to the prospective students as well as to interact with current students and alumni. Social media improves the communication on one hand and helps in promotional and development activities on the other. Present work explores the integration of social media in different processes in Higher Educational Institutes. A student enters the institute with admission process and exits after completion of degree. While on the campus, a student is involved in curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. At the same time, a student participates in the communication with the fellow students and other corporate and social forums. In all of these activities, social media can play a prominent and vital role. However, the success of social media roles depends upon; how the different stakeholders are engaged. A comprehensive study has been carried out to identify the role of social media in different activities of the higher education institutes. These activities range from looking for the new students, engaging them on the campus and maintaining communication after they leave the campus. Implications from teaching-learning, administrative, marketing and communication perspective have been identified. A framework has been proposed to integrate the specific social media channels in different processes in the higher education institutes. The framework will be very much useful in developing successful social media campaigns for higher educational institutes as well as to effectively engage the stakeholders.

Literature Review

Recently there has been published a vast amount of research dedicated to the topic of establishing the connection between mathematics and computer programming and the impact which mathematical abilities has on academic performance in computer programming. So Balmes (2017) studies the existing connections between mathematical and programming thinking and the impact which one type of thinking has on another. She states that mathematics is important for dealing with the programming courses as it improves the logical ability of students.

White and Sivitanides (2015) conduct practical experiments dedicated to estimating the level of correlation between mathematical and general programming abilities and skills. The results brought by their experiments confirm that the correlation exists.

Sarpong, Arthur and Amoako (2013) conduct a research to find out the causes of students’ failure in computer programming courses and come to a conclusion that there is a significant and positive correlation between academic performance of students in mathematics and programming.
