It discusses the decision-making processes concerning what type of Facebook page to use, the design, form and content of the Facebook pages, guidelines for lecturer and student use, as well as the means by which lecturers can encourage students to increase participation in courses using Facebook as an educational tool. <!--more-->Detailed survey feedback from a pilot study of students who used the two courses\u2019 Facebook pages is also discussed. Finally, it demonstrates how using the Facebook pages facilitated greater student engagement and understanding of concepts, and encouraged what Adhihari (2011) calls \u201cconversations,\u201d which were often carried back and forth between cyberspace and the classroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To read the full paper, please<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a
