About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in digital media and the lead instructor for the new Graduate Certificate in Social Media for Self-Improvement. Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to develop this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen firsthand how social media can be a powerful tool for personal growth. I've used it to build supportive communities, share insights, and even hold myself accountable in my own self-improvement journey. HOST: That's fascinating. And what current industry trends are most relevant to this course? GUEST: Well, there's a growing recognition of the potential of social media for self-improvement. From mental health influencers to online accountability groups, people are increasingly turning to digital platforms for personal growth. HOST: What challenges have you faced in teaching this subject, or that students might face in learning it? GUEST: The biggest challenge is perhaps the negative stereotype of social media. Many people still see it as a time-waster, so we work to shift that perspective and show how it can be a force for good. HOST: That's a crucial shift in mindset. Looking to the future, where do you see this area or industry heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see even more innovative uses of social media for self-improvement. As technology evolves, so too will our ability to leverage it for personal growth. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights and for developing this transformative course. It's been a pleasure talking with you today. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to see how this course can help people harness the power of social media for positive change.
