Microblogging is basically a medium that allows the user to broadcast short messages. This provides users an opportunity to exchange brief content about specific or general topics.

Microblogging on Twitter is something I have not heard of nor ever considered in a course. Given the proliferation of Twitter use and the affinity college-aged students have for the platform this could increase engagement rates and allow for unique and interesting assignments.

However, overall I think it is an interesting concept.
