Social Media: Communicating Safely (Higher Education)
Description
Social media and social networking have been in our lives for many years, and you've probably been using them for longer than you think. Social media platforms have evolved lightyears from their primitive forms in the earliest days of the internet when people would post messages on bulletin boards.
Today, social media blurs the boundaries between our once distinct personal and professional personas. From sharing our views on the world to celebrating professional achievements and even interacting with brands as a consumer, the way we present ourselves online has rapidly become the marker of who we are in the real world.
This course aimed at universities and colleges takes a practical and comprehensive approach to training students and staff on the dangers and pitfalls of social media use on campus. Through immersive scenarios, real-life case studies and interactive exercises, users will have a thorough grounding to help keep themselves and their business safe when using social media.
