Live-tweeting of reflections/comments/questions  Pilot study at conference  Made use of hashtags  Projected on to wall during 45 min session  Ten users, 54 tweets 7 Example 1 (Ebner, 2009)

Continuous student evaluations of course  Closed system created (no public views)  Students anonymous  Class ratings + 1 good thing/1 bad thing/general comments  19/20 took part on a regular basis 8 Example 2 (Stieger et al., 2010)

Multiple Uses: announcements; discussions; personal/academic support; organisation of projects/groups; and assignments.  Experimental group vs. control group;  Positive effect on student engagement ratings; and  Positive effect on marks. 9 Example 3 (Junco et al., 2011)
