The document summarizes a graduate course that used social media to communicate research on the effects of climate change in the Arctic. Students tweeted over 150 times about course activities and findings under #ArcticCourse. They also wrote blog posts about their research projects. One group experimented with an educational game to engage the public. Feedback found using social media was a new experience for many students but helped communicate their work, with some saying it inspired them to start their own blogs. The document concludes that demonstrating societal impact through public outreach is increasingly important and social media allows researchers to deliver scientific messages to broader audiences.
