Social networking sites have become a viable instructional option in recent years due to its support of learning motivation. Because, factors influencing the continuing use of social networking sites by higher-education students are worth probing into. Previous studies have pointed out that social networking sites could improve students' motivation to learn, but these studies have mostly targeted teachers or students in higher education and are lack about students' continuance usage models. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate how to use social networking sites in a digital learning environment, to provide students with an assisted-learning environment to improve students' learning satisfaction and continuance usage intention. This research adopted the flow theory, expectation confirmation theory, and theories of motivation as its theoretical base. The research results on the students' perspective provide a strong support for the teachers to adopt or continue using SNS in classrooms. Thus, the results of this study could provide a reference for the designers to develop a social networking sites system and the design of its contents to the social networking sites.
