Social Computing

This document outlines the objectives, modules, references, and outcomes of the course GECY106 Social Computing. The objectives are to create social applications applying appropriate theories, critically analyze social software, encourage effective communities through social software design, and examine existing social computing services. The five modules cover basic concepts of social networks and relations, social links, social media, social information filtering, and social network strategy. The outcomes are for students to understand social computing applications and concepts, analyze social media data, apply computational models, conduct simple social diagnostics, evaluate emerging techniques, and design new social systems.
