Social Media tools part of University Curriculum

The Straits Times, 11th June 2009
Facebook, Twitter, Wiki and other social media tools are part of NUS, NTU, SMU and UniSIM curriculum. University students are not just being taught how to use these online networking tools, they are also being taught how these tools might be incorporated into the various profession. Students are required to submit their assignments in the form of blog posts, or set up and upkeep wiki pages with links to related topics contributed by various people.

Universities from Harvard to Stanford have also started classes in this area or set up centres to carry out cyberspace research.
