Welcome to EXSM3988! You are on your way to refining your social media communication skills! Congratulations. You may find it a challenge (there's lots to read, watch and interact with), but it will also be fun.

Please send me your preferred e-mail address so that I may add you as an author on the class blog. This is important for activities and reflection. It can also be a great way to contribute to discussions and participate.

***Active class participation is central to our work together.***

Here are a few suggestions about how to participate in the discussion. Remember to keep up with the discussion every couple of days or so. Keep your contributions short and exploratory. Try to respond to what others have already said, if you can. And try to ground your comments and ideas in the readings (or videos or Pins etc...) whenever possible.



Please always feel free to send any comments or queries to me or Erika Smith.

Course Activities & Participation

Assignments are graded and there is an online interaction mark but active engagement and participation in the class is essential to getting the most out of the course.
