Abstract

Use of technology for teaching and learning became necessary during the COVID 19 pandemic where higher education institutions (HEIs) had to close down and students were asked to go home. The use of technology became the ready tool to accomplish the abrupt academic calendar and programs with social media becoming a veritable tool as it enhances interaction between students and faculty, among the students and the learning resources. However, the use of social media is guided by rules and regulations and students are expected to adhere to such rules. Studies that reveal the ethical behaviour of students in the use of social media for teaching and learning are very few and this necessitates investigation especially in higher education institutions. This chapter highlights the types of social media used for teaching and learning, ethical behaviour of students, awareness of ethical issues in the use of social media by the students and the implication for higher education institutions.
