Social media is no longer seen as a fad – it’s a revolution.  Whether you work in a traditional or virtual classroom, social media provides a low-cost way to broaden your reach and increase the impact of your training. Based on the bestselling book Social Media for Trainers, this interactive certificate invites you on a guided tour of several popular and powerful social media tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, blogs, Wikis, microblogs (Twitter) and explores concrete, specific ways to incorporate them into your own training practice. We’ll examine their unique features, discuss how to leverage the strengths of each, explore which best fit your training needs and learn how to set up your own accounts. Appropriate for classroom and virtual classroom facilitators, and instructional designers, the course also covers the basics of social learning, informal learning, and communities.  While we discuss concepts such as learning communities and overcoming barriers, the focus of this program is on specific training activities that can be facilitated using social media tools.
