Abstract

There has been recent interest in studying the use of instant messaging (IM) as a teaching tool for supervising student dissertations and tutoring undergraduate students as discussed by Yue (2014a, 2014b, 2015). The research studies on this area have indicated that students are very positive about the use of IM for communicating with their tutors or supervisors. This chapter aims to study the use of IM as a supplementary tool in tutoring undergraduate students. The use of IM was analysed, based on the teaching and learning feedback obtained from an endof-course questionnaire survey. A correlation analysis was carried out to study the possible relationship between the use of IM and the teaching and learning experience of students. Other associated measures, such as the tutorial attendance rate and assessment marks, were also examined. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020.
