"Sharing information and connecting with others has proven to be a powerful tool in\r\neducation. Learners collaborate with each other through social media to learn more on\r\ncertain subjects, to test and share out ideas and theories, to understand facts, and to solve\r\nproblems among peers and teachers. At Open University Malaysia, all courses including\r\nmathematics are delivered via a blend of face-to-face tutorials; self-managed learning using\r\nthe print/html modules and e-learning via the institution’s learning management system,\r\nMyVLE. Mathematics is one of the subjects most adult learners find challenging. Some\r\nlearners develop a fear or phobia of mathematics either because of negative experiences in\r\ntheir past or lack of self-confidence. In an effort to improve the teaching of mathematics,\r\nBlog and Facebook are used. The main aim of using these social media is to establish social\r\nnetworks by fostering communication and knowledge exchange among learners, peers and\r\ntutors in a more informal manner. Such interaction among learners and tutors offer\r\nassistance, orientation and support and ultimately enhances the learning processes by\r\ncreating a positive working atmosphere. This paper dwells on our experience in using social\r\nmedia to improve the teaching of mathematics in a lifelong learning environment. (Abstract by authors)"^^ . "2011-11-14" . . . . . . . . . . .
