Abacwaningi bahlaziya idatha yabafundi kusuka ku-Facebook, bahlanganiswe namarekhodi enyuvesi, basebenzisa le datha ehlanganisiwe yokucwaninga, bese babelana nabo nabanye abacwaningi.

Kusukela ngo-2006, unyaka ngamunye, iqembu labaprofesa nabasizi bezocwaningo lathinta amaphrofayli e-Facebook amalungu amalungu ekilasini lika-2009 "ekolishi yangasese eyahlukene enyakatho-mpumalanga ye-US" Abacwaningi base behlanganisa le data kusuka ku-Facebook, eyayihlanganisa ulwazi mayelana nabangane kanye nokuthandwa kwamasiko, nedatha evela ekolishi, efaka ulwazi mayelana namajaji esikoleni nalapho abafundi behlala khona ekamelweni. Le datha ehlangene yayiyimithombo ebalulekile, futhi yayisetshenziselwa ukwakha ulwazi olusha mayelana nezihloko ezifana nendlela yokuxhumana nomphakathi (Wimmer and Lewis 2010) nendlela ukuxhumana nomphakathi kanye nokuziphatha kuguquguquka ngayo (Lewis, Gonzalez, and Kaufman 2012) . Ngaphandle kokusebenzisa le datha ngomsebenzi wabo, abacwaningi abathandwayo, abathintekayo kanye nesikhathi bawenza ukuba bathole abanye abacwaningi, ngemuva kokuthatha izinyathelo zokuvikela ubumfihlo bezingane (Lewis et al. 2008) .

Ngeshwa, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuba idatha itholakale, abanye abacwaningi banqume ukuthi isikole esasibuzwayo kwakuyiHarvard College (Zimmer 2010) . Abacwaningi Bokuthanda, Izibopho Nezikhathi basolwa ngokuthi "ukwehluleka ukuhambisana nezindinganiso zokucwaninga ngokomthetho" (Zimmer 2010) ngokwengxenye ngoba abafundi babenganikezanga imvume enolwazi (zonke izinqubo zabuyekezwa futhi zamukelwa yi-IRV ne-Facebook). Ngaphandle kokugxekwa kwabafundi, izindaba zephephandaba zivele ngezihloko ezifana "Abacwaningi BaseHarvard Basolwa Ngokuthi Babophe Abafundi" (Parry 2011) . Ekugcineni, i-dataset isusiwe kusukela ku-intanethi, futhi ayisasetshenziswa abanye abacwaningi.
