Social media has changed communication and knowledge sharing. It empowers individuals to become digital creators, curators, critics, and collaborators. Social media allows sharing through established platforms like LinkedIn, blogs, tweets, and newer digital mechanisms. Knowledge is now generated through discussions among internet participants, not just scholarly study. Digital technologies provide access to knowledge anywhere, anytime, though there are concerns about information overload. The lecture discusses using social media like LinkedIn, blogs, and Twitter to develop personal learning networks and sharing opportunities to advance scholarly practice in open ways.
