Abstract: The availability of Facebook Messenger prompts people to maximize its benefits in different disciplines. Particularly in education, some students and teachers use it to extend their communication pertinent to learning. Although some may not be comfortable using it for education, there are some who tried its utilization and found positive impact to students’ academic performance. Taking into consideration the advantage of Facebook Messenger in learning, the researcher employed group chat to improve prompt submission of outputs from Bachelor of Science in Information Technology students of Iloilo Science and Technology University Miagao Campus, who were officially enrolled in IT Capstone Project course. As revealed in the results of this study, there was an increase in the number of groups which was able to submit the requirements on time. Based on the narratives of those students who belonged to the groups which promptly submitted the output, the group chat via Facebook Messenger served as reminder about the requirements and the schedule of submission as well as an avenue for updates and verification about the requirements, thus they were able to submit promptly.
Keywords: group chat, social media platform, academic performance, narrative analysis.
