Quarterly Review of Distance Education, v15 n4 p1-14 2014
This article examines Twitter as an innovation to enhance student learning within an online graduate-level course. Specifically, this article includes 3 narratives from students who were charged with using Twitter as a medium for sharing photographs and accompanying analysis. Within each narrative, students' experiences and opinions are explicated. This article concludes that professors should consider the strains of new media-based interactions and the relationship between media and method.
