The learning can be about many things and not just techniology and human
psychology (although I know that this is an area of interest for you).
In this case the learning is to do with popular systems which students
appear to be using, which seem to be of interest to the FE sector and
which may offer something to ourselves. As well as finding out why such
systems are growing in popularity, the learning will also address the
limitations of such systems (including dangers of spam, exposure to
advertising, etc.)
