Social Media is a form of electronic communication which facilitates interaction based on certain interests and characteristics. They are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social Media use web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social dialogues. They support the democratisation of knowledge and information and transform people from content consumers to content producers (Beer, 2008).

It sought to understand the common Social Media tools used by them, the Medium they use to access these Social Media, the challenges they face while using these Social Media, their competency in the use of these new technologies and ultimately, its implication in incorporating them as an instructional strategy tool for undergraduates.
