The theoretical framework for this study embraced social constructivism of Piaget
(1955) and Vygotsky (1978), who were proponents of an active learning approach where
students learn best by doing and collaborating in their social groups. Awodele, Idowu,
Anjorin, Adedire, and Akpore (2009) stated that social software tools support a social
constructivist approach to e-learning by providing students with personal tools and
engaging them in social networks.
