HOW VIRGIN MEDIA USES TWITTER FOR COLLABORATION (weight: 2)
We've also created a protected Twitter account that we use to tweet about things that are only relevant for Virgin Media people. We use this account to spread news, gather feedback, get ideas and keep dialogue going on any particular topic.
We've been working closely with the team that runs our external, customer facing twitter account (@virginmedia), to help spot and solve customer queries. These employees who have really embraced Twitter are early adopters and keen promoters by nature. We've developed a community of motivated advocates who naturally talk about Virgin Media products and services as part of their day-to-day lives. And, obviously, the more they build their own community of followers, the further this word-of -mouth, or viral effect, spreads.

"We decided to join the Twittersphere shortly after activating our Facebook account because it is another way of engaging our members and n.onmembers and providing information we think CPAs would want to know.
Tweeting the Night Away: Using Twitter to Enhance Social Presence (weight: 1)
In support of our invitation, we define our expectations as setting up a Twitter account, adding all class members and faculty as tweets, adding 2-3 professionals (usually our textbook authors) as tweets, and committing to logging into Twitter three times a day for two weeks. If after that point students determine it is not of value to them, then we do not expect them to continue participating.

We also share with students the fun (e.g., tweeting with a celebrity) and informative (e.g., receiving product updates or news items) networking opportunities available via Twitter. When students see the possibilities and how those possibilities can help them meet specific learning goals and objectives, they are willing to give it a try.
Reflecting on the additional instructional benefits of Twitter, we clearly engaged in interactions with our students via Twitter that helped us attend to instructional management issues and students' knowledge building. We encourage others to begin experimenting with Twitter in their classroom.

Reflections on Exhibiting Multicultural Fluency in the Modern Classroom (weight: 1)
As a participant in the Multicultural Fluency workshop, I was struck by how old-fashioned we must appear to today's students. In other words our challenge is to make sure our pedagogies reflect the actual technologies our students are using - to determine how to use them to enliven our classes, by making them both more relevant to realities and more entertaining as well. I believe the recent choice by Radio Shack to notify over 1000 employees via email that they were being laid off has excellent potential as a case study in which the teacher could talk about media selection theory and its impact on meeting the needs of both senders and receivers.
Virtual Worlds as a Context Suited for Information Systems Education: Discussion of Pedagogical Experience and Curriculum Design with Reference to Second Life (weight: 1)
Second Life facilitates realistic replication of real-life project management scenarios wherein multiple users work on the same project simultaneously just like in real life. Correspondingly, this realistic experience in the Virtual World context assists the development and refinement of key skills such as programming, systems development, and project management, and thus primes students for industry experience, either through employment or as entrepreneurs. It is pedagogically beneficial for students to gain real world industry experience either as employees via vocational placements or as entrepreneurs via commercially engaging the systems they have designed in projects. Such opportunities provided while still studying, are doubtless invaluable learning experiences in preparation for actual employment and commercialisation. These opportunities are not readily available in university IS schools, perhaps because vocational placements are competitive or academics are not sufficiently allied with industry, and conducting business can be a risky and costly endeavour.

We all hope to be as relevant and analytical. These profs aren't all work and no play-their Twitter feed, "The Glom," is a riot. These law professors are "data junkies," usually not likely to share an anecdote or a theory without a study to back it up. They find and dissect law-related studies that appear in both the mainstream media and legal scholarship, and they also provide details about upcoming conferences in their field.

Being human is one of our core values at Virgin Media. Using an open system like Twitter means our employees don't only connect with their colleagues, but also with anyone else out there sharing similar interests. We're encouraging them to be themselves, giving them freedom and choice to openly communicate with whoever they want. We're trusting our employees to act in a responsible way by treating them as human beings, which they appreciate.

During the fall of 2008, we incorporated Twitter into our online instructional design and technology courses. We did not require students to participate, but invited them to join us in our Twitter adventure as we tested its instructional potential.
For instance, Grosseck and Holotescu (2008) identify a number of problems with using Twitter for educational purposes. For instance, Twitter can be time-consuming, addictive, and possibly even encourage bad grammar as a result of its 140-character limit (Grosseck and Holotescu, 2008). While Twitter is free to use on a computer connected to the Web (whether accessed via a web browser or a Twitter client like Twirl), faculty and students might be charged texting or data fees if they access Twitter on their cell phone (depending on their cell phone plans). Despite possible drawbacks like these, the instructional benefits encourage us to continue to incorporate Twitter in our online courses (as one more tool in our toolbox), and look at other Web 2.0 tools that may help us extend the instructional power of a LMS and further enhance the socialpresence potential of the online learning opportunities we design and facilitate.

Twitter (2009) is a multiplatform Web 2.0, part social networking - part microblogging tool, freely accessibly on the Web (Stevens, 2008). Other popular Web 2.0 microblogging tools include Jaiku, Tumblr, My Say, and Hictu, and Edmodo. Twitter, however, is one of the most popular of these microblogging tools (Java, Finin, Song, & Teseng, 2007; McFedries, 2007) and, therefore, was our tool of choice because it is well-established, has a large and growing participant base, interfaces well with other Web 2.0 tools, and is easily accessible. According to the Twitter website, Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? ( Twitter, 2009) However, the people who participate in the Twitter community - people who are geographically distributed across all continents (with North America, Europe, and Asia having the highest adoption rate) (Java et al., 2007) - use it for more than providing updates on their current status.
In 140 characters or less, people share ideas and resources, ask and answer questions, and collaborate on problems of practice; in a recent study, researchers found that the main communication intentions of people participating in Twitter could be categorized as daily chatter, conversations, sharing resources/URLs, and reporting news (Java et al., 2007). Twitter community members post their contributions via the Twitter website (see Figure 1), mobile phone, email, and instant messaging - making Twitter a powerful, convenient, community-controlled micro sharing environment (Brapeau, 2009).

Twitter community members post their contributions via the Twitter website (see Figure 1), mobile phone, email, and instant messaging - making Twitter a powerful, convenient, community-controlled micro sharing environment (Brapeau, 2009).
A student is reading something in the textbook and has a question about the chapter on multimodal learning. She immediately tweets (i.e., posts) her question to the Twitter community, and gets three responses within ten minutes) - two responses from classmates, and one from Joni (her professor). This leads to several subsequent posts, including comments from two practicing professionals.
As part of a research project on legacy systems, a student poses a question to the Twitter community regarding the prevalent need for COBOL programmers. She receives responses from several IT professionals, some with links to helpful resources and contacts that can help her with research. A student tweets that she is tired and going off to bed. She receives two tweets back from classmates wishing her a good night. Throughout the course, we used Twitter in this way.
Although Twitter elicits open sharing and an informal writing style, it is nevertheless critical to know your authence and share accordingly. Participating in the Twitter community helped our students learn to be sensitive to their authence, and make professional decisions about what perspectives and ideas they should publically contribute and what perspectives and ideas should remain private.
Informal learning involves "activities that take place in students' self-directed and independent learning time, where the learning is taking place to support a formal program of study, but outside the formally planned and tutor-directed activities" (Aspden and Thorpe, 2009). Twitter was one tool that students used to support their informal learning activities. Through their participation in the Twitter community, they discovered resources and tools that they effectively applied to their coursework.
We make every effort to model effective Twitter use for our students by being active participants in the Twitter community.
We have made a commitment to continue to participate in the Twitter community after courses are completed. We believe that this commitment further encourages students to engage in Twitter, building their own valuable network of professional and academic contacts. Because they know they can count on us being available in Twitter, they continue to use Twitter as a just-in-time way to connect and interact with each other and us. This has been helpful for continued advising, coaching, and mentoring. Following this guideline has helped us achieve the level of social presence we crave in support of on-going social learning and student engagement.
We also, and unexpectedly, concluded that involving students in the Twitter community also helps us attend to the other two components of the Community of Inquiry framework: cognitive and teaching presence.
