Abstract The study determined the extent of educational experience of First Year College Students enrolled in Mindanao Autonomous College Foundation Incorporated in online learning using Facebook. It also explored the challenges and prospects experienced by the learners using the platform. Using a mixed-method design, empirical data for quantitative and qualitative analyses were sourced through checklist questionnaire and semi-structured interviews respectively. 164 respondents were surveyed while 14 respondents were interviewed. The quantitative data were treated using statistical tools such as frequency, percentages, mean, ranking, z-test, and one-way analysis of variance (anova) while the qualitative data were analysed through thematic analysis. Interestingly, the result revealed that Facebook was able to facilitate learning among students using the community of inquiry framework that determined online learning experience. Integral to this framework were the social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence wherein students agreed to have it experienced using Facebook. However, students also revealed varying concerns that challenges their online learning experience such as poor internet connections, regular power outage, among others. On the other hand, students revealed some prospects of Facebook such as its easiness to use, facilitate in sharing works, making communication and connections, and express ideas and opinions relevant to their educational experiences.
