    Teacher comment: "My district definitely values music and the arts when it comes to helping students have a holistic education experience. So I said to myself - ok - I will take a class on how to introduce music into my classroom. I envisioned the class talking about how to clap your hands to different beats to help you memorize math formulas. Well, that is all good, but this course opened my eyes to so much more, by teaching me how to use music for classroom management, emotional learning, instrument appreciation and even... silence appreciation. Take this course now and I guarantee a whole new world will open up to you on how to use music in your classroom to advance cognitive learning" (5 Stars).

  • Course Title: Becoming A Digital Marketing Specialist Number of Credits: 1 Credits (15 hours) Click Here to View Syllabus UMass Global University Course Code: EDRU 9965 Four Concepts That Will Change How You See the Internet
    LEARN CONCEPT 1:  Every ad, post, and email you see was a deliberate business decision. Nothing online happens by accident in marketing. The color of a button, the exact words in a headline, the time a post goes live, all of it is tested and intentional. When you understand this, you stop being a passive consumer and start seeing the invisible architecture of the digital world. LEARN CONCEPT 2:  Attention is the most valuable currency of the digital age. Every platform, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Google, is competing for your eyeballs. Brands pay billions to get those eyeballs. The digital marketer's job is to earn attention, hold it, and direct it toward a business goal. LEARN CONCEPT 3:  Data turns guesswork into strategy. Unlike traditional advertising where you hoped your billboard reached the right person, digital marketing tells you exactly who saw your ad, clicked it, bought something, and how much it cost to get them there. That data is power, and learning to read it is one of the most valuable skills in the world. LEARN CONCEPT 4:  You can start building a digital marketing portfolio TODAY, with no budget. Run a social media page for a school club. Write a blog. Help a local business with their Instagram. Create a YouTube channel about something you love. Every piece of content you create is a portfolio item that demonstrates real-world skill to future employers.
