Now in its tenth consecutive year, the purpose of this PDW is to sustain an ongoing forum for Academy members interested in teaching social networks to undergraduate, MBA, and executive audiences to share and learn practical insights on how to prepare and deliver individual sessions or entire courses on the topic. The PDW will be organized into three modules – substantive topics, an open innovation session, and an introduction to network analysis lab session – that are designed to assist participants in transforming research on social networks into effective educational experiences. The substantive topics module will focus on how experienced faculty have leveraged network concepts to develop and deliver thematic courses. The open innovation module will focus on the issues, challenges, and questions that the participants have experienced or anticipate with teaching social network modules or courses. Last, the network analysis module will include a hands-on, interactive lab session with case studies and R code provided.
