Social Media as a Tool for increasing Cultural Competence: How do we measure it?

• In Event: CLT - Social media and cultural competence

Short Description

This presentation will introduce the findings from a systematic literature review designed to identify the ways and means by which cultural competency can be measured. The goal was to investigate the reliability and appropriateness of instruments that measure cultural competence when used in classrooms that have integrated technology with specific focus on social media. Incorporating assessments into social media environments may provide a venue for enhanced cultural competency awareness amongst users of social media.
