Aim of the study and its significance This study provides a glimpse into what happens when ODL students are directed to Facebook for online discussions; of whether Facebook is able to captivate the attention and participation of ODL learners Demography-wise, most ODL students are older and study only part time; they are also not as technologically savvy as their full time counterparts in traditional universities. It would be interesting to examine the group dynamics involved in the social networking community that is transformed into an e-learning community and the extent to which learners participate as well as the patterns of interaction that occur.
