A University of Calgary professor is teaching Shakespeare, 140 characters at a time.
English Professor Michael Ullyot is requiring students to sign up for Twitter, and post at least six questions about course material using a specific hashtag.
Ullyot tells the Calgary Herald he hopes the idea will help him get a better sense of where the students minds are when it comes to Shakespeare, and doesn’t think “all of Twitter” is stupid as some have said.
There is one drawback, they will have to tweet on their own time, as professor Ullyot doesn’t want students trying to multi-task during a course lesson.
