To reach our research period, we began our study in October 2017 and completed it in June 2018, nine months corresponding to an academic year. Higher education and university institutions would therefore have everything to gain from turning to applications dedicated to learning via this social media. Our study has as its field of research three higher education institutions, namely I.S.P/KANGU, ISTM/Tshela and ISEA/Tshela. Indeed, social networks became popular in the 2000s. They are increasingly used in different ways in the field of information and communication technologies. In view of our scientific reflection, all our respondents often consult social networks. Clearly, the three higher education institutes in the area provide good support to students in the regular use of the Internet. As an illustration, for Internet connection, seventy-seven students or 62.07% use cell phones, thirty-three or 28.49% use Internet cafes and eleven with a percentage of 9.48 use modems. Currently, Facebook is the most used social network. We noted eighty-two or 70% of our respondents against twenty-nine or 25% for WhatsApp. Twitter and YouTube are less used by our respondents.
