NDU 6019: Social Media as a Source of Information - Legal, Policy & Ethical Issues
This course will explore the important issues surrounding the use of social media as a source of information for the Department of Defense. For example, should you exploit the information just because you can? Can you trust it? Are you allowed to use it? If you don’t use it, what are you missing Students will consider the potential uses of information extracted from social media, and evaluate the legal and policy requirements that restrict DOD access to much of that information.
Course Objectives: Students will be able to:
1) identify and differentiate the overlaps between traditional news media and news derived from social media;
2) develop strategies for applying information from social media to support a diverse mission set; and
3) evaluate the relevant legal, policy and ethical implications.
Learning outcomes will be assessed through class participation, a digital deployment exercise, and an 800-1200 word paper. This course is included in the Data and Disruptive Technologies concentration. (Class Limit 16) (2 Credit Hours)
