Ready to dive into social media, but not sure where to start? Alex and I will be teaching Fundamentals of Social Media at UBC Continuing Studies in March – a more in-depth version of the course we taught last fall. (Which, by the way, we enjoyed tremendously – thanks to everyone who took part!)
The four three-hour evening sessions start on March 24 at Robson Square in downtown Vancouver, and the course fees are $425. Here are the details:
This introductory course provides an overview of social media: its history, theories and the principles behind online communication including the power and impact of web 2.0 . Starting with a definition of “online community”, yo explore the range of social media technologies and applications, including such tools as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, RSS, wikis and social bookmarking, and how they apply to a variety of goals and strategies. You’ll explore real-world cases and discover emerging “best practices” for this rapidly-changing field, and how it is shaping communication in everyday business today.
Even cooler news: that course can help you earn UBC Continuing Studies’ new Award of Achievement in Social Media. And to follow on from our Fundamentals course, the award program also includes courses in Social Media Monetization and Social Media Strategy and Marketing taught by friend-of-the-show Rochelle Grayson.
