The lecturer then started uploading the lecture notes images to the photo album. Since different web browsers support different approaches of uploading images to a photo album, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome can make use of a Facebook plugin whereas Firefox uses a Java based component, the lecturer would experience different interface when using different web browsers. Once the photo album was created, the lecturer reviewed the images and rearranged the sequence of the images as necessary. Then, the photo album with lecture notes was ready to be accessed by students. For those students who would like to receive notification of course notes publishing, the lecturer could instruct them to use the function of adding themselves as fans of the course page. The lecturer could either rearrange the images or add new images by clicking “Organize Photos” or “Add Photo” buttons. For any further updates of the album, students with the role of fans of the course page would receive new notifications about the changes. The overview of the album is shown in Figure 4 and a screen showing the course content is shown in Figure 5.

For slide with text in smaller typeface, most mobile phones enable users to zoom the images for better readability. When students wanted to leave comments or questions regarding the slide, they used their mobile device to do so. For example, Figure 7 shows the user interfaces of an Apple iPhone and a LG mobile phone, which enables Facebook student users to post comments to a slide. In fact, mobile devices are capable of viewing the slide and enable students to leave comments or questions to particular slide. Upon receiving comments or questions, all members in the course, including teaching staff, would be notified. As soon as teaching staff received a notification emails from Facebook, they could click the embedded link that navigates the web browser to the referred slide, and leave another comment for the same slide as responses. Teaching staff could create quizzes to assess students’ understandings of the lecture. For example, Figure 8 illustrate the use of Quiz Creator Facebook application by a teaching staff to create a quiz.
