This semester the EME6635 Open Learning and MOOCs seminar, taught by Dr. Vanessa Dennen of the Instructional Systems program, has been designing a MOOC on Social Media for Active Learning. The MOOC will begin on March 24, led by Dr. Dennen with the assistance of the students in this class. It's a free professional development course for educators at all levels, designed in a flexible, modular format. Participants are welcome to complete one or all of the modules -- and it's fine if you want to sign up just to check it out.
We would love to have our COE colleagues and friends joining us for all or part of the course -- and feel free to pass the information along to any person or group that might be interested.

Social Media for Active Learning: A professional development MOOC
Dates: Mar 24 – Apr 20
Instructor: Vanessa Dennen, Associate Professor of Instructional Systems, Florida State University and a team of FSU Instructional Systems graduate students
Course Description:
This professional development course was designed to help instructors, trainers, and instructional designers learn how to better use social media to support learning, whether in an informal networking sense or by embedding social media into more formal learning contexts. The four course module topics are (1) social media curation for education, (2) developing social media lessons, (3) developing and using personal learning networks, and (4) privacy and ethical issues related to using social media to support learning
Whether you’re a newcomer to social media tools or you’re quite familiar with them, this course can help you find new and better ways to reach and teach your students, connecting them with the rich network of online people and resources, and helping them become active users and contributors within this network.
Since this is a professional development course, it has been designed with flexibility in mind. Each week we will focus on a new topic and will have new learning materials, a live chat, discussions, and a small project. You may complete the projects for each week – or just those that interest you most or best fit your schedule. You can earn badges during the weeks you choose to complete the projects, and you’ll be able to get feedback from our community of learners and teaching assistants.
