Here’s a great resource for learning about social media without leaving your desk. Lee Aase, the manager for syndications and social media at Mayo Clinic, has set up the Social Media University, Global (SMUG) a 
“post-secondary educational institution dedicated to providing practical, hands-on training in social media to lifelong learners.”
He uses the university model by grouping courses into categories like: pre-admission coursework, core courses and tracks for majoring in general social media, blogging, podcasting, social networking and widgets, as well as platform-specific classes for Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, YouTube and others.
Unlike the university model, the courses are all free and available at your convenience. Check it out!
