| Abstract: | This study aims to examine the role of communication technology, as well as social media, by lecturers and students alike, in improving the quality of learning. To achieve this goal, 250 students and 65 professors from religious colleges in Parepare, Indonesia were recruited to participate in the study. Proportional random sampling was used to select the sample, and Google Forms was used to distribute surveys to students and lecturers using the WhatsApp communication application. Smart PLS 3.0 was later used for data analysis. We concluded that both in-class and online learning can be improved through the use of communication technologies, such as videoconferencing and teleconferencing. What is more, social media is more useful than communication technology when it comes to improving the quality of learning. In addition, this research found that these technologies worked better when used together rather than in isolation. As a result, it seems it is possible to better improve the quality of learning by increasing the use of communication technology and social media in tandem rather than just focusing on one or the other. |
