Abstract:

As part of innovation, University of the Immaculate Conception extends their learning environments online through Moodle. Moodle is a course management system that allows educators to create activities, announcements, quizzes and assignments online. It also allows them to upload course materials that would be used as a reference for learning. Since the majority of the students go online, specifically used Facebook than of Moodle, the researchers were then motivated to implement a Facebook application for integrating Moodle updates. Facebook has been classified as the widely used social networking site. The application would be responsible for retrieving latest updates (new announcement, new assignment, new course materials) and notify the student on Facebook. It also notifies the student whenever the student has committed the maximum number of absences for the semester.
