"Where Do You Learn?": Tweeting to Inform Learning Space Development

Thanks to Lorcan Dempsey's tweet for this.

"We recruited 15 students to take part in a two-week study. During this time — in exchange for a token payment of Amazon vouchers — we asked each participant to:
  • Register for a Twitter account and tweet an average of three times per day about their learning activities and the spaces they were using;
  • Provide three longer summaries per week offering additional information on points of interest selected by us (for example, "You mention working in x location — what is it about this space that works for you?"); and
  • Take part in a final reflective interview at the end of the fortnight."
