About this Guide
"It's amazing what you can learn in 140 characters!"
Why
Twitter?
Twitter is very
easy to set up and use, and
as there are a huge number
of Twitter apps that enhance its standard functionality, it is
now a very powerful tool. And with over 105 million registered users, this free global system can no longer be overlooked for its potential as a social learning platform.
What is social learning?
By "learning" we mean both formal
education and training as well as informal learning, that is personal
directed learning, group directed learning and intra-organisational learning.
This Guide therefore looks at how to
use Twitter for social learning - that is to build a community, communicate, collaborate with
others, as well as share information and resources. In
addition it looks at how it can be used for to support formal
social
learning events and programmes.
Although 140 characters is the maximum length of a Twitter
message (or tweet) - even in such a small amount of
space, you can say, do and learn a lot, as you will see!
