Twittering the student experience
by Alan Cann, Jo Badge, Stuart Johnson and Alex Moseley
Background
Based on our personal experience of Twitter, we were interested in examining what use students would make of the service and to what extent it could be used as a support channel.
Supported by the principal bodies and agencies in UK post-compulsory education, the Committee was set up in February 2008 to conduct an independent inquiry into the strategic and policy implications for higher education of the experience and expectations of learners in the light of their increasing use of the newest technologies.
I am a Senior Project Officer in Information Technology Resources - Web Services and work with staff across the University of Tasmania to embed web technologies into Teaching and Learning
