abstract = "The use of instant messaging is increasingly popular among local university students and teachers. This paper studies the possible relationship between instant messaging communication and student assessment results. It involves a large group of university students who were tutored through two teaching methods. The extent of instant messages exchanged by the students with their tutor is examined. It was found that the use of instant messaging is related to the final assessment results obtained by the students. Also, students who were involved in instant messaging with their tutor included those who were more capable as well as those less capable.",
