- Course Catalog Description:
- This course investigates current and potential future impacts of social media using connected learning (Ito) and participatory culture (Jenkins) as a theoretical lens to understand the ways in which it can be used for education. Connected learning focuses on learning "pathways" that move across formal and informal settings to transform the very nature of learning - what it means, how it occurs, and where it takes place. In addition to gaining a philosophical understanding of participatory practices in spaces of connected learning, students will develop conceptual and practical expertise in using social media applications and social networking platforms for learning, creative expression, forming connections, and interacting as global citizens. The overarching aim of this course is to help students become critical consumers and ethical producers of new media in various forms for learning purposes. A balanced analysis and critique of both the affordances and the challenges associated with social media use as a tool for learning will be an essential component of the course and will frame each social media application and network that is explored and authentically integrated into the course. An examination of social media practices and influences will include their use in both formal education as well as informal learning contexts.
