Question 4 • Social Media: Our Connected World (IS)

He is finding that most students do not check email and wonders if social media would be a better choice. What is the BEST advice for Raphael?
Answer
A
Most students are not used to checking social media either.
B
Students are often on social media, so there is a better chance they will see messages.

D

Explanation
Raphael’s goal is to reach students with assignment updates and messages. Since students are often active on social media, they are more likely to see messages there than in email, which many of them do not check. Choice B gives the most practical advice without assuming social media will definitely improve learning.
