The information presented is excellent. However, the playback is too slow as if someone reduced the speed of a recording intentionally. Please speed it up or re record. Thank you. Emmanuel Ramirez

This was a very good introduction to legal implications with social media and has encouraged me to learn further. A lot of good information in a small period of time.

Well, actually it refers to US law and since I need information on European law, it was not really a match. However the course gave a general idea about the topic.

This is a very good course. It discusses legal issues regarding social media and the workplace. I thought it was very interesting and learned about respecting company policy, and employee freedom to chat in the workplace or online. The teacher was great and had good informative examples/cases to share. I recommend this class. Thank you.
