Abstract
Social media has had a significant impact on all aspects of life and society in general, transforming the world into what is now referred to as the information society with high-tech connectivity penetrating almost every aspect of human life. Social media platforms, emerging as technological advancements, have played a crucial role in driving rapid development in the economy, business, politics, and particularly in higher education. Their emergence has led to increased global communication, enabling people to access educational information they desire anytime, anywhere, on any digital device, as well as interactive feedback.
