The document discusses a study on using Twitter in distance learning communities. It presents the study's institutional framework, theoretical scope, empirical research, and initial results. The study observed 276 bachelor students using Twitter optionally for a course. It found Twitter introduced new collaborative arrangements, promoted feedback, and allowed skills development outside conventions. Further analysis of interaction networks and expanding the sample were recommended.
