Student-teacher Facebook friendship and privacy awareness

Social networks as merging technologies have potential to influence many aspects of human life ; especially the professional life. Facebook as the most popular social network, has been used for both professional and personal purposes. Nowadays, one can easily find social networks which are primarily "professional networks" and which provide tools for managing users' professional life - education, research interest, business etc. Since privacy protection while using social networks is not something built up in curriculums, students entering and participating in higher education should be aware of how their personal pages on social networks can impact their professional life, especially when accepting os sending friendship requests (or follows) to their teachers. The goal of this study is to explore the usage of professional social networks and Facebook among students and academic staff at University of Zadar, Croatia and to explore their viewpoints on publishing private information on social networks. We also aimed to research the level of awareness of the impact which posts on social networks can have on student's future and techer's present professional life and explored attitudes toward student-teache Facebook friendship.
