Twitter use case

Colleges / tutors should have a twitter feed that students subcribe to.

So, students could get: last-minute timetable changes, reminders of assignments due, event announcements, freebies (only via twitter, to encourage usage).

And of course, it works the other way too. So if a student is working, and needs to ask a question, twitter it. Anyone following (the rest of the class, the tutor, possibly other tutors with expertise) can answer, and everybody gets the benefit.

I'm sure this has been done to death in HE, but it ain't about fashion, is it? It's about what helps.
