EETAC – Second pilot with Twitter and “Activity Stream”
Two ways of “Activity Stream” feed using Twitter
Twitter subject account; i. e. @EETAC_GXPS
hashtags #upc #gxps
from a registered user
Twitter user account set up in user
profile
Twitter hashtags set up in course parameters
Twitter course account set up
in course parameters
Some conclusions
• Several students “discovered” that they could initiate AS this way
• The AS has become the integrating stream of all the information related to the subject
• Partially, this information comes from the public Twitter – where another group of alumni can interact as
well
• The Twitter course account has become a tool to compile all the interesting information on the subject, not only manually – For example , Twitterfeed or ifttt allows to feed
the Twitter account and, hence, the AS with interesting blog entries on the subject
• Twitter has become another learning activity – For example, “twitify” a technical paper or
publish final reports
