L’Università di Birmingham lancia un Master in Social Media

Spread the love

La parola social network e social in generale nel mondo dei media si sta diffondendo a macchia d’olio, e secondo il parere degli esperti dell’Università di Birmingham, per poter parlare seriamente di questo fenomeno ci vuole un Master…che c’è!
Secondo gli esperti è importante al giorno d’oggi avere una laurea, ma ancora di più avere un Master. Contro a tutte le ipotesi che si trattasse di un pesce d’aprile, la Birmingham City University ha dato il via al nuovo master in Social Media. L’esordio sul sito dell’Ateneo è simpatico e basato sotto forma di domanda e risposta:

“È per me un Master in Social Media?”
“Se sei laureato in discipline e/o culture mediatiche, hai esperienza sul Web, in Public Relations, nel campo del marketing e vuoi un’opportunità per esplorare l’area emergente dei Social Media attraverso una ricerca didattica e pratica, allora la risposta è si”.

I tempi per valutare una ipotetica iscrizione sono abbastanza lunghi, si parla infatti di avvio delle attività per settembre 2009. Questo perchè second Labnol, sono troppi su LinkedIn, su Twitter e sui curriculum che continuano a proclamarsi “esperti di social media”. Tutti questi personaggi – non certificati – cercano di usare la propria sommaria conoscenza del mondo del social networking e dei blog, wiki, ecc. proclamandosi “consulenti del Social Media”. Secondo AppScout, questo Master, invece, potrebbe essere una occasione utile ed interessante per ufficializzare il proprio titolo e le proprie conoscenze.
Pareri positivi sono arrivati dal network di The Telegraph che ha chiesto informazioni al professore titolare Jon Hickman ed a molti ipotetici eventuali studenti. Alcune delle risposte sono state particolari, come quella di una ventenne che ha dichiarato al quotidiano Jamie Waterman: “virtualmente, l’intero contenuto del corso tratta dei soli fondamenti. Moltissimi già li conoscono. Penso che sia un totale spreco di risorse universitarie”. Sarà un’idea diffusa o saranno costretti al numero chiuso per le troppe richieste di iscrizione?

  3. Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  11. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
