Introduction to Online Personas
This module explores the complex concept of social identity in the online environment. We will spend time this week investigating the multi-faceted aspects of our online identities. You will not only research and analyze your own online personas, but also consider the social identity or identities of others. Metaliteracy promotes the production and distribution of digital information, while thinking critically about how we interact with others and present ourselves online.
