a. Methodology
According to Du et al. (2016), assessing the revisions history and composition of wiki pages yielded both quantitative and qualitative information. Ecklebe & Löffler. (2021) employ a structural equation model (SEM) with the R package lavaan to test their assumptions. The stressor-strain-outcome (SSO) concept is employed by Malik et al. (2020). The research is comprised of two cross-sectional surveys administered to college-aged participants. Both of these publications get their findings from primary sources. This means that there is a significant methodological gap between the two sets of sources. But Ecklebe & Löffler. (2021) and Malik et al. (2020) are similar to each other.
b. Findings
Both Du et al. (2016) and Malik et al. (2020) found that there were significant differences in the frequency of collaborative projects and the degree of social networking site use across elementary, secondary, and college students. On the contrary, all three sources (Du et al., 2016; Malik et al., 2020 and Ecklebe & Löffler, 2021) illustrated the consequences of social networking sites use at various educational tiers, including those between employees and their employers and between different age groups of students.
c. Recommendations
The research of Ecklebe & Löffler. (2021) reveals that firms may impact workers' views of the effectiveness of their internal communication by taking a variety of elements into account. Both (Du et al., 2016; Malik et al., 2020) suggest ways of increasing awareness of social media users. There has to be some alert mechanism included in elementary school wikis to prompt people to make changes and add content. Regular seminars and counselling services should be offered by schools to address the problems and anxieties associated with social media usage and abuse.
Part Two: Review
Hacking On Social Media Platforms
Unsurprisingly, the fear of being hacked corresponds with a widespread crisis of confidence in social networking sites. According to Malik et al. (2020), due to the sensitive nature of social media, members of a given site may experience exhaustion from fumbling with the network's privacy settings. In contrast, Du et al. (2016) Search-Together is only one example of numerous online platforms that enable groups of students to collaborate on web content creation and editing in real-time within a single web browser. Similarly, workers ought to know communication requirements and strategies during an epidemic, and the advantages of effective inner crisis communication (Ecklebe & Löffler, 2021).
Social Media Platforms usage
Also, people's online users may have been affected by their isolation from others during the lockdown, which raises the question of whether the limits imposed during the lockdown contributed to an upsurge in the incidence rates of heavy social media use (Ecklebe & Löffler, 2021). According to Malik et al. (2020), users run the danger of identity fraud, account hacking, harassment, and online monitoring when they keep a media profile and share content inside the network and with the general public. The college students' wiki-based collaborative reports showed significantly greater and more frequent writing than those of the secondary and elementary school pupils. Their social media usage is high (Du et al., 2016).
Approaches to reduce hacking
According to Malik et al. (2020), a growing collection of research documents the deleterious impacts of excessive social networking site use in developing countries. Teachers need to provide as much online scaffolding and instruction, especially in higher education, which may be reduced when students acquire more experience writing independently and working in groups. (Du et al., 2016). Discourage the use of social media as a means of maintaining a sense of community during the shutdown (Ecklebe & Löffler, 2021).
