The document discusses how instructors can integrate Twitter into their Moodle courses by adding a Twitter widget. The widget allows instructors to search for tweets based on keywords related to their course topics, without requiring the instructor to be an avid Twitter user. In 10 clicks or less, instructors can create a Twitter account if needed, access their Moodle course, and add an HTML block where they can paste the code for the Twitter widget. This allows real-time tweets matching the keywords to appear on the Moodle course page and keep students informed of current developments.

1. Twitter on Moodle
Twitter is the place where tons & tons of information and updates are released every second. We can rely on
twitter to stay informed on any topic. If you are an instructor using Moodle, you can also help learners to stay up-
to-date on recent developments in your field by integrating a Twitter widget into your Moodle course. This
widget searches for tweets# based on the keywords you provide, so it doesn’t require you as an instructor to be
an avid Twitter user.
