In the fall of 2012, as the U.S. presidential election unfolded in real-time, Professor Rotolo offered a special course on social media and elections.

The course examined emerging trends in campaigning and organizing online, integrated cutting-edge technologies for public sentiment analysis, and featured a one-of-a-kind mock election experience that was featured by NBC's TODAY and other media.

The video below takes a look at the #ElectionClass experience from the student perspective.
