Welcome!

Welcome UF Social Media Grad Students!

For those of you who are new to the program, welcome to UF and Go Gators! For those of you who are in your second semester and beyond, welcome back and Go Gators!

I am really excited to teach this course and provide you with what I think is a well-rounded approach to multimedia communications. What we'll cover is content I have encountered in my career "out there," what new technologies there are and what you need to consider from said technologies, as well as general information a mass comm/social media professional needs to know.

More details on the course are listed on the syllabus and in the e-learning platform (Sakai).

This new medium that is social media is constantly evolving. That being said, look here for posts that supplement your course materials. You won't be quizzed on these items etc. but they will be important for you to know about as you delve into your social media career or even could be great points to discuss in interviews. Just think of them as "Tips of the Day."

Anyways, welcome again. If you are enrolled in the course, you should receive a welcome email from me the first week of class.

Here's to a wonderful semester!
