Social media has become an important part of today’s lifestyle changing the way people communicate, entertain, share information, etc. In the past few years, education has become another area where social media has shown an impact. The incorporation of social media in higher education courses enhances the interaction and collaboration between students and faculty, increasing the students’ participation, involvement and motivation in the learning process. There have been many examples of blended learning environments where social media is integrated into a course curriculum. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of various examples which successfully integrated social media into the higher education classrooms to provide insight and feedback to researchers and faculty members for future practices. In addition, considering the high interest in using social media in Turkey among the young population, the study focuses on presenting the current utilization of social media in Turkish higher education institutions.
