Abstract

In recent years, we have seen that users edited and shared information actively on various Social Network Sites (SNSs) and those sites are getting richer and more interesting. We expect students can have this mindset similarly on our learning stage. Our study proposed a social networking site for education. Like a stage for students, they can watch and show themselves. We observed altruistic motive and behavior of students on the platform. There were 30 college students participated. We had found that there were six altruistic behaviors. And Students' altruistic motivations are enjoyment and self-development.
