Description
Summary:In today’s world, social media is becoming the most crucial communication method that is used through online networks. It is a broad category of web-based applications and services that are intended to foster the growth of local communities via communication and knowledge exchange (Arnold & Paulus, 2010; Junco et al., 2011). It refers to methods of communication where individuals produce, share, and/or exchange knowledge and concepts in their networks. Almost every industry, including education, is now impacted by social media. Since it is now approved by higher education institutions, it has become a platform for students to interact with their lecturers, fellow students, and other higher authorities. Some studies and research were conducted to investigate the impact of social media usage on Malaysian students.
