In EDCT-GE 2550 we will be using several online services and software packages to set up a learning analytics system (see the image learning_analytics_diamond.png in this repository for more information). In order to both particpate in the class and collect data from the class all students will need to have operational, up-to-date accounts and installations of these tools.

Twitter will be used to:

• Ask questions about the course
• Comment on readings
• In class communication (backchannel) including notifying when a student is not following content:
  • For example, if instructions are unclear or the lecture is difficult to follow tweet #DSE16 #IDKWGO

All tweets need to be tagged with the hashtag #DSE16

Be a good Twitizen, check out this etiquette guide for engaging on Twitter.

Instructions for setup can be found here and here.
