Learning Communities
This is one of the University of Calgary's Blogs, it focuses on discussing various topics of interest to communities of learners at the Calgary. It has some interesting posts on publishing student content.
-
We talked about many things, but I think the common thread was that this is really not about “blogging” or even technology. It’s about what happens when students are publishing their own content, and collaborating with each other. What does that mean for assessment? How do you properly engage a class of 100 (or more?) students, having them all publish content, exploring various topics, commenting, thinking critically, and still be able to make sense of that much activity?
-
Since we stepped back a bit from technology, we defined student publishing more broadly, to also include such things as discussion boards and wikis.
We talked a bit about blogging as an ePortfolio activity - that it may be effective for students to publish various bits of content through their blog(s) and then to let it percolate and filter until the “best” stuff is distilled into what is essentially an ePortfolio - and maybe THAT’s the artifact that gets assessed. The activity through the blogs is important, but every student will participate in a different way. Maybe it would be a valuable thing to even make blogging itself an optional thing - but those who don’t participate will have had less feedback and refinement of their ePortfolio artifacts.

The UMW Blogs Story at bavatuesdays
This blogpost gives some background to how U Mary Washington developed its use of blogs as publishing platform for its academics. Many of the links are worth following as they take you to examples of blogs including one art students blog. These blogs are being used in different ways, some for personal reflection others as e-portfolios.
-
he group vision was, and still is, to enable the UMW community to take control of and manage their own work, identities and spaces online. One of the things we really like about UMW Blogs is that it allows people throughout the community to take ownership of their work, they control their space to some great extent. For example, they can use their blogs for personal reflection, to frame an eportfolio (here’s a nice student example), they can delete their own work at will, and export their data on the fly and re-import it to their own space or a commercial blogging system like Blogger or WordPress.com.
