INTRODUCTION - 1• Social media is defined as “a group of internet-based
application that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user generated content” (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010, p. 61)
• Examples of social media include blogs, social networking sites, wikis, video and photo-sharing sites, etc.
• Social media has recently emerged as a promising technology for knowledge management (KM) (Levy, 2009; Yates & Paquette, 2011).

LITERATURE REVIEW - 1
An Integrated KM Cycle (Dalkir, 2011)
![Page 16: CHU , Samuel Kai Wah, Associate Professor Head, Division of Information and Technology Studies](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012918/568132b4550346895d996f21/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
LITERATURE REVIEW - 2• Blogging was found to be a good learning tools for
internship by facilitating information and knowledge sharing (Chu, Kwan & Warning 2012)
• Receiving emotional support and feedbacks from both teachers and peers are important to student internship experiences (Murray-Harvey, 2001)
![Page 17: CHU , Samuel Kai Wah, Associate Professor Head, Division of Information and Technology Studies](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012918/568132b4550346895d996f21/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
LITERATURE GAP• Unsure about the effects of using Facebook as the
communication tool during students’ internship
• Very few studies, if any, have focused on comparing blogs and Facebook in terms of their effectiveness in facilitating knowledge management and cultivating a knowledge sharing culture during internship.
![Page 18: CHU , Samuel Kai Wah, Associate Professor Head, Division of Information and Technology Studies](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012918/568132b4550346895d996f21/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
RESEARCH QUESTIONS• Purpose: To examine the incorporation of Blogs and
Facebook into internship of two groups of students over six cohorts: 3 years of Blogs intern users (n=47) and 3 years of Facebook intern users (n=64).
• Research questions:• How do student users use Blogs and Facebook for knowledge
management? • Is Blogs or Facebook a better tool in facilitating knowledge
management activities?• Is Blogs or Facebook a better tool in cultivating a knowledge
sharing culture?

PARTICIPANTS• The study involved two groups of students (n=111) from the
Bachelor of Information Management (BScIM) program.
• They were asked to document their knowledge and experience gained during their internship (2-3 months)
• Group 1 (n=47) used blogs (Xanga, Blogger, Drupal and YouBlog)• 2006-2008
• Group 2 (n=64) used Facebook• 2011-2013
![Page 21: CHU , Samuel Kai Wah, Associate Professor Head, Division of Information and Technology Studies](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012918/568132b4550346895d996f21/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN• A blog site or a Facebook private group page was set up
and made accessible to only the participating students and course lecturers.
• Students were asked to reflect and share their internship experience on the online platform every one to two days.
• They were also told to post a minimum of one to two comments to their peers’ logs every week.
• For both groups of students, their engagement in the corresponding online platform constitutes to part of their final grade of the course.

DATA COLLECTION - 1• Content analysis
• The blog entries, posts and comments were extracted from the online blogging system and Facebook at the end of each internship period.
• Questionnaire• Prompts users’ perceptions of blogs/Facebook for mutual support
and collaboration
• Structured telephone interviews• Investigate users’ perception of blogs/Facebook as a knowledge
management tool
![Page 23: CHU , Samuel Kai Wah, Associate Professor Head, Division of Information and Technology Studies](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012918/568132b4550346895d996f21/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
DATA ANALYSIS - 1• The content of the students’ blogs and Facebook was
analyzed qualitatively using NVivo 10 software.
• Each blog entry, Facebook post or comment was considered as a unit of analysis.
• The coding framework was developed from the preliminary coding.
• The content was first classified into either knowledge management processes or socio-emotional expressions.

DATA ANALYSIS - 2Theme Definition Sample referenceKnowledge capture
Knowledge reflection
reflections on or discoveries of knowledge related to professional practices
From the reference materials, I have learnt new thing besides the questions’ design. What I learnt this time is “Coding” for questionnaire. Assigning codes for the answers of questionnaire can simplify the process of analyzing respondent’s responses. It is because we cab simply input the code of answer of each question into the computer.
Experience capture
personal insights into the meaning and implications of professional experiences
During the meeting with client, I learnt more about the relationship between online payment and card industry. I realized that transaction done through virtual environment is similar to face to face transaction. The only different is the channel.
Knowledge sharing and dissemination
Knowledge sharing
sharing, disseminating or exchanging of ideas and knowledge among the individuals
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited is one of the frequently used website for retrieving information for intranet profiling of listed companies reports. Stock code search can be found in Advanced Search Options
Posting questions
questions that facilitate communication and discussion among users
I also think of that but I don’t know which database would be useful. Do you have any suggestion?
Providing feedback
responses to another post that contribute to knowledge building or sharing
A student talked about the function of “linear regression” of SPSS in the reflective posting, a participant replied: I think this function is much complicated than the functions I have used before. When running the Linear Regression, I need to enter quite a lot of dependent and independent variables to the syntax. This step should be very careful done to prevent the loss of any variables. Otherwise, the results will be different and incorrect.
Knowledge acquisition and application
Knowledge construction
discussion and co-construction on theunderstanding of a topic or knowledge area
A: In the school library in my secondary school, popular titles , such as Chinese fiction series would adopted “double packing” , but it only used when there were not enough space. Therefore, the location of the doubled-packed books were flexible.B: For government gazettes, “double packing” is very useful since the title will be updated at least once a week. This practice really serves a lot of spaces.
Problem solving
experience of applying knowledge in solving the problems encountered in professional practice
Although the search functions in MS ACCESS were not user-friendly, a user could still search the specific panel. We designed a large range of keyword tables that easily hit the data entry. Therefore, we successfully increased the search results.

Theme Definition Sample references
Emotional expressions
Positive emotions pleasurable affective expressions including joy, happiness, gratitude and contentment
I am so happy that everything is on schedule, and I had been involved in several projects and process already, it’s really enhance my experience.
Negative emotions unpleasurable affective expressions including distress, anxiety, depression and anger
Sometimes, I would be sad after listening to these kind of call. It seemed that the questions I have asked irritate the patients and made them upset.
Social support assistance and resource that individuals provide to others through social relationships
Do take care of yourself and don't let the internship ruin your health.

Note: The figures represent the average number of Blog entries/Facebook posts each participant contributed.
Knowledge captureThe popularity and user-friendly interface of Facebook, as identified by a participant (HTH), were the key factors that facilitate its users to elicit tacit knowledge, and allowed it to overtake blogs in instant and quick knowledge capture.
Knowledge sharing and disseminationAs noted by one of the participants (WCM), “when you posted anything in the group, everyone can view it. With notifications users can read the most updated comments from their friends easily and immediately. Hence, it helps facilitate knowledge sharing.”

DATA ANALYSIS - 1• The data from the survey was analyzed using SPSS
v.22.0. • Overall comparison between 3 education levels
• Use mean of all questions in one criteria as statistics• Overall scale is from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree)
• Primary school question scale 1 – 5.• Secondary school question scale 1 – 5.• University question scale 1 – 7 , rescale each question by 5/7.
• One sample t-test on each criteria with confidence interval (i.e. CI ) • Assumptions using t-test: sample is large ( n > 30 ).• Shows in column chart with mean value and CI displayed.
Note:confidence interval calculated from the given sample set. It is an estimated range of plausible values of the true value, or the true mean of the population. A 95% CI means that there is a 95% probability that one will find the true value in the estimated range. The width of the CI indicates the reliability of the estimation. A narrower CI indicates more reliable result than a wider CI (Dalgaard, 2002).

DATA ANALYSIS – 2• Knowledge Management construct
• Only involve secondary school and university • One sample t-test on 3 common questionnaire questions
• Knowledge creation• Knowledge sharing• Knowledge dissemination
• Independent sample t-test on these 3 question to see if there’s a difference between the 2 groups• Set the significant level p<0.05 • Compare the means between two groups, secondary and university
