The result shows no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) existed on influence of Internet of Things technology impact on social media usage by university students on collaborative learning in SB, PB, AB and GP factors with respect to faculty of the students. Concerning the perceptions of students on IoT and collaborative learning on social media with respect to occupation, statistically significant differences existed amongst GP dimensions.
