Some weeks after the 2010 Association for Learning Technology conference, with the agreement of Donald Clark and Sugata Mitra, and with the help of Martin Hawksey, ALT published versions of the videos of Donald's and Sugata's keynotes with the Twitter back-channel superimposed as subtitles. (Apparently this is something of a first.) Cath Ellis, who is a lecturer in English at the University of Huddersfield, has written an admirable piece Tweckling, iconoclasm and lecturing as a normative discourse, which reflects on the two keynotes, taking account of the reactions that each generated.
Disclosure: I work half-time for ALT.
