On February 18-20, 2015, RMUTP’s Office of Academic Promotion and Registration organized a Social Media Training Program for RMUTP Lecturers at the Simathani Hotel in Nakhon Ratchasima province and conducted a study trip on the use of social media in education at the Center of Educational Innovation and Technology. The program was attended by 40 RMUTP lecturers.
Nowadays, social media plays an important role in Thai society including Thai education because of its ease of access through smartphones and low cost start-up advantages. Many schools and universities in Thailand use social media as a tool to disseminate information to their students. Therefore, the office of Academic Promotion and Registration initiated the program in order to increase skills in the use of social media for RMUTP lecturers.
