Abstract

Advances in digital technologies, including social media, are changing the ways in which people communicate, collaborate and learn. Scholars have suggested that social media could improve teaching and learning in higher education, while also cautioning about its use. This chapter explores a specific example of social media use with first-year undergraduate-degree students. The aim was to confront and challenge students' core beliefs about coaching youth sport. We illustrate and conclude that the incorporation of social media into educational processes must be based on sound pedagogical principles, and that the construction of a student-centred environment is pivotal to success.
