The folks at Educause have put together another of their “7 Things” guides, this time it’s "7 Things You Should Know About Backchannel Communication". The backchannel is the informal communication that goes on during a conference or other event, most notably on Twitter and other real-time tools. As usual Educause tackles the following questions:
1. What is it?
2. How does it work?
3. Who’s doing it?
4. Why is it significant?
5. What are the downsides?
6. Where is it going?
7. What are the implications for teaching and learning?
EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology. http://www.educause.edu/
