Social Media for Active Learning: A professional development MOOC bit.ly/smalmooc Dates: Mar 24 – Apr 20 Instructor: Vanessa Dennen, Associate Professor of Instructional Systems, Florida State University and a team of FSU Instructional Systems graduate students Course Description: This professional development course was designed to help instructors, trainers, and instructional designers learn how to better use social media to support learning, whether in an informal networking sense or by embedding social media into more formal learning contexts. The four course module topics are (1) social media curation for education, (2) developing social media lessons, (3) developing and using personal learning networks, and (4) privacy and ethical issues related to using social media to support learning Whether you’re a newcomer to social media tools or you’re quite familiar with them, this course can help you find new and better ways to reach and teach your students, connecting them with the rich network of online people and resources, and helping them become active users and contributors within this network. Since this is a professional development course, it has been designed with flexibility in mind. Each week we will focus on a new topic and will have new learning materials, a live chat, discussions, and a small project. You may complete the projects for each week – or just those that interest you most or best fit your schedule. You can earn badges during the weeks you choose to complete the projects, and you’ll be able to get feedback from our community of learners and teaching assistants.
