Activists, politicians, and academics alike have heralded social media as a revolutionarily change in the way people, organizations, and governments interact with each other. In the past few years, social media has been credited with toppling totalitarian regimes during the Arab Spring, highlighting social inequities with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and shining an unwanted spotlight on one of the worst dictators of the modern era through KONY2012. These and other campaigns have shown the incredible potential of social media platforms to let us dream of better, more efficient ways to construct open governments and have allowed us to reshape how we think about our world and ourselves. But not everybody has viewed social media so positively. Perhaps most famously, Malcolm Gladwell cautioned against blind faith in the power of social media, suggesting that behind every tweet were pre-established, strong, face-to-face ties. Details about the success of KONY2012 and the physical staying power of Occupy Wall Street suggest there may be something to this. Through these case studies and more, this four-week online certificate course will examine where social media has succeeded, where it has failed, and how we can learn from these cases to leverage social media most effectively in the future. Participants in the course will gain practical exposure to a variety of social media platforms and tools that streamline platform management. They will also learn methods and best practices for putting together a social media campaign, tracking success of the tactics and strategies employed, and letting data driven decision-making and outcomes. Participants can expect a dynamic and interactive learning environment with a variety of discussions, practical exercises, and expert talks aimed at crafting and executing an effective digital strategy for the 21st century. Participants will have a chance to collaborate to produce an original case study around social media use in the real world as well as a campaign that could be put into effect.
