Sie, R. L., Pataraia, N., Boursinou, E., Rajagopal, K., Margaryan, A., Falconer, I., ... & Sloep, P. B. (2013). Goals, motivation for, and outcomes of personal learning through networks: Results of a tweetstorm. Journal of Educational Technology & Society, 16(3), 59-75. The authors explore the motivation of professional learners to use their personal learning network (PLN). The authors posit that a common interest with other members in the learners' network may serve as a reason why learners engage in their PLN for a given purpose. The authors analyze a Tweetstorm, an online brainstorming session through Twitter, to explore motivation for using PLNs. Interestingly, the subject of the study is also the method of gathering data.
