1) Time management:
The toughest challege of Facebook-based teaching is handling of time pressure both for instructor and students
2) To give the top priority to Faceook activities (in terms of attention and evaluation)
3) To keep tight communication through Facebook be-tween instructor and students
4) To set role of students in the class at an appropriate level
5) To maintain appropriate relationship between in-structor and students Without fair distribution of time and attention, conflict may
occur.
