Edited by: Hana Noor Al-Deen, Ph.D.
Chapter Proposal deadline: 31 March 2014
Proposals for book chapters are invited that address Social Media in the Classroom. The focus of this book lies on the usage of the prominent social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube as tools in teaching advertising, public relations, journalism, and health communication at the college (undergraduate and graduate) level. The book seeks to provide a bridge between the theoretical foundation and the application of these tools. Original research is required and all methodological approaches are acceptable. The length of the chapter should consist of 7000-7500 words including assignments and references.

Perhaps it is worthwhile to mention that this Noor Al-Deen’s third book on social media. The first two books “Social Media Usage and Impact” and “Social Media and Strategic Communications” were published by Lexington Books (2011 & 2012) and Palgrave Macmillan (2013) respectively.
