The Impact of Social Media in the Future of Higher Education in Brazil: a Prospective Study
Abstract
The objective of this work is to propose a prospective study about the impact that social media will have on the future of higher education in Brazil. This study used the Delphi method, where a consensus was sought in the opinions regarding the use of social media in education. Although there was a consensus among respondents about the social media trends presented, it is still noticeable that a few panelists remain neutral to their views on the use of social media and technologies applied to education by the year 2040.
