Key features
KEY FEATURES:
  • Over 125 real-world activities across various social media platforms offer students multiple opportunities to practice and build their communication skills
  • Assignments for each of the chapters are organized by type:
    • Individual assignments - which can be completed by each student individually and could be graded assignments for the class. These can also be tailored into online discussion questions for online classes to complete and share.
    • Group projects - which can be completed as a mini project activity, such as debates or semester-long projects like the campaign. These projects are usually between 20-40% of a student’s total grade for the class. Some of these could be final projects for a course.
    • Workshop / Consulting projects - These assignments are for an individual student, with the overall goal to apply what they have learned in class. These will either be presentations they do in class, or they promote their work to present to an online/virtual/offline audience. These would most likely be final reports or projects for entry level courses in social media, or regular assignments for upper-level or graduate classes.
