Moodle for Mobile Learning
By :
A backchannel is the social media presence that forms around a real-world event. If you attend technology conferences, you may sometimes see a hashtag promoting the event such as #mootie13 which was the hashtag for the Ireland Moodlemoot 2013. The community that forms during the event around this hashtag is known as the backchannel. These do not have to be unique to conferences though, and backchannels can form around short, one hour classroom events or web conferences. The backchannel provides an excellent opportunity to students to discuss the event while it is happening and engage in some networking.
