Abstract

Technology omnipresence has changed all dimensions of our life: the way we work, study, and leisure (Lau et al., 2018). Classrooms evolved from a unidirectional, textbook-supported, lecture-based, and group feedback-dependent learning context to a physically independent, everywhere-everytime learning environment (Heflin et al., 2017) that is not restricted to study-oriented platforms such as Moodles and resources designed adequately for educational outcomes such as massive open online courses (MOOCs) but also percolates work-oriented platforms such as Google’s toolkit and LinkedIn and social media interaction platforms such as Facebook and Instagram (Thomas et al., 2018; Shafer et al., 2018).
