- I’ll have to admit, I have mixed feelings about Twitter (and much of the other social media). On one hand, I really love to play around with all of the new social media tools and am excited about what’s going on and the potential for learning. On the other hand, much of their value is exaggerated.

Tom Kuhlmann offers several suggestions on how to incorporate Twitter into elearning: follow the subject matter expert, follow the subject, build a community. Includes a funny animation on the basics of Twitter.

More intelligent and focused information from Tom at the Rapid e-learning blog. Essential idea: follow the expert & build a community. Here's how. Includes link to Articulate's twitter page.

- Twitter is a useful tool. It can also be incorporated into your elearning courses. Today I’d like to share a few ideas to whet your appetite. However before I share some tips, it’s probably a good idea to explain some Twitter basics.
- Suppose you’re doing a course on organizational leadership. Inevitably, some learners will have questions of the subject matter expert (SME). You could incorporate a subject matter tweet that lets people ask questions or follow the SME after the course is complete. Consider it a post-course consulting tool. It also humanizes the course and makes it seem more personal, which can contribute to its perceived value.

- - Create a twitter account for a famous person who represents the topic you teach. Then have the students follow the tweets. For example, it would be fascinating to read the tweets of someone like John Adams responding to some of the debate in Washington D.C. today. Or keep the tweets in context to the historical character’s time. Perhaps you can teach about the D-Day invasion via the tweets of a soldier crossing the channel and storming the beach at Normandy. You could even include media using sites like Twitpic and Twitvid. What a great way to make history come alive!
  - Have the learners use Twitter to share their thoughts. For example, instead of giving them an assessment, make the assessment their Twitter stream. They need to reflect on what they’re learning in the course and then share that with others.
    
    Another way to get them involved is to have them share links and other information relevant to what they’ve learned. Even if the course content is proprietary, there’s no reason why they couldn’t go out and look for other thought leaders or groups in the same industry to build on what they’re learning in your course
