Book description
Tap into the power of social media and increase course effectiveness!
Faculty will learn to choose the appropriate social media tool for the
intended learning outcome, design engaging and innovative activities,
and better meet pedagogical needs. In addition, the author offers
strategies for assessing and documenting the effectiveness of using
these tools in your course. Administrators and student affairs
professionals will also find a wealth of information useful for planning
faculty development programs and communicating with students.
Although the book focuses on higher education, tools and techniques

organizational learnÂing. The best practices and faculty development
tips can be informative for individuals involved in any kind of
professional development or network-building.
