Registration is now open for a new social media skills course designed especially for science and environmental professionals. The Duke Environmental Leadership (DEL) Program is offering a six-week, distance-learning course “Social Media for Environmental Communications”. Participants will explore both popular and underutilized social media platforms and to choose the correct tools to integrate posts, tweets, and images effectively into a larger media plan. This course is designed by marine scientists Andrew Thaler (Duke), Amy Freitag (Duke), and David Shiffman (University of Miami), founders of the popular Southern Fried Science blog.
Social Media for Environmental Communications will be held from March 25 to May 3, 2013. A global cohort of environmental professionals interact via weekly discussions led by our instructors. Assigned readings, social media projects, and discussion boards allow for customized instructor feedback and peer review. This course can be taken for graduate credit; register before March 4, 2013 for the reduced tuition rate. Registration is extremely limited! More information on the DEL website http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/del, and, of course, at our social media sites. Questions? Please feel free to contact us.
