Social media, derived from the social software movement are a collection of Internet websites, services and practices that support collaboration, community building, participation, and sharing (Junco, Heibergert, & Loken, 2010). The use of social media has surged globally in recent years.
Social media are technologies that facilitate social interaction, make
possible collaboration and enable deliberation across stakeholders
(Bryer and Zavatarro, 2012). These technologies now include blogs, wikis, media (audio, photo, video, text) sharing tools, networking platforms (including Facebook) and virtual worlds (Bryer and Zavatarro, 2012).
