The utilization of twitter in lectures

Abstract

Replying to recently formulated IS-research calls (e.g. [CBSJ12, KN12, Tie13, OMOR13, Tes13, HC13]) in this article I reviewed in this article all existing 'substantial' scientific Twitter-related work containing evidence-based empirical learning and education material. After reviewing 182 Twitter-related articles, 17 articles were identified to be relevant as they contained substantial material. Based on the results of the corresponding identified studies I built up a comprehensive literature review. Analyzing this literature review I extract coherent findings such as a stable positive Twitter usage - learning outcome relationship. Finally I conclude with the suggestion of areas for future research.
