Özet: Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, opening up new possibilities for learning. The majority of learning institution stakeholders, particularly professors and students, have cell phones and computers as well as active social media profiles. The rising use of social media, combined with the need to engage with people all over the world, is making it difficult to integrate social media into learning in a way that will complement the formal learning that takes place in educational institutions. This integration is especially important at stressful and difficult times, such as the Covid-19 period, which saw learning come to a halt for more than six months. As a result, the goal of this study was to look into social media integration in collaborative learning, which allows students to share learning content with others and tutors all over the world. The constructivism idea underpins this research. According to the article, social media plays a vital role in learning since it allows students to improve collaborative learning in the aforementioned scenarios. This research contributes to both theory and practice in a significant way.
