“…The learning and teaching in higher education chat (#LTHEchat) refers to synchronized Twitter discussions, facilitated by a guest moderator, that involve a variety of pedagogical topics and instructional themes each week (Beckingham, Nerantzi, Reed, & Walker, 2015). Gao and Li (2017) discovered that #edchat offered structured conversations for K-12 teachers and preservice educators to build connections, share resources, and gain perspectives from peers.
