From the module on "Effective Use of Social Media in Online Courses," I garnered several key takeaways, namely, that social media platforms offer diverse channels of communication and resources that can complement traditional learning management systems. Tools like Twitter can provide microlearning experiences, while platforms like Pinterest can serve as repositories for visual aids and infographics.
Social media can be an informal feedback channel. Periodic polls on platforms like Instagram or Twitter can gauge student understanding and solicit feedback on course content.
