Incorporating collaborative projects that utilize social media can provide an innovative approach to actively engage students in learning. The presenters at the School of Communication & Information at Rutgers University will discuss two pilots implemented in online courses in Spring 2013 that incorporated collaborative projects using Pinterest!, a visually-oriented social media tool. Students worked in small groups to create unique Pinterest boards related to library and information science (graduates) and journalism and media studies (undergraduates). The presenters will share the background, process and considerations, and results of this successful project to create an authentic learning opportunity for students.
