- Abstract: Social media has transformed the communication landscape for institutions of Higher Education by providing improved teaching and learning experience. However, very little is known as to whether the use of social media by Higher Education students improves their satisfaction. Grounded in social media, risk and technology acceptance literature, this paper examines Higher Education students' perceptions of social media use (SMU) and the impact of SMU on their satisfaction. Data collected from the students were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. The study finds that: (1) perceived usefulness of social media has positive effect on the use of social media in student learning; (2) perceived risk of using social media discourages the use of the tool, and (3) SMU has positive effect on student satisfaction. The study further discusses the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

Se basant sur la littérature relative aux médias sociaux, aux risques, et à l'adoption de la technologie, cet article examine la perception des étudiants de l'enseignement supérieur sur l'utilisation des médias sociaux et l'impact de leur utilisation. Des données recueillies auprès des étudiants ont été analysées à l'aide de la modélisation par équation structurelle. L'étude conclut que: (i) la perception de l'utilité des médias sociaux a un effet positif sur l'utilisation de ces médias par les étudiants pour leur éducation; (ii) la perception du risque lié à l'utilisation des médias sociaux décourage leur utilisation, et (iii) l'utilisation des médias sociaux a un effet positif sur la satisfaction des étudiants. L'étude discute en outre les implications théoriques et pratiques de ces résultats. … (more)
