HootCourse

A HootCourse is an online classroom.  Instead of cumbersome forums or complicated lesson-plan formats, HootCourse uses a combination of the most popular social networks and blogging platforms to provide a new type of online classroom.
HootCourses are built on tweets and status updates in real-time. There’s no particular structure to them, at least no more than a classroom with chairs and a blackboard; they’re a simple construct that lets a teacher and pupil interact.
