Welcome Eylem

Welcome Eylem - it's good that it's not just the four of us now. But where are the others? Perhaps blogging isn't the way forward for them? Perhaps we could use Facebook?



or Twitter?

    our user growth rates aren't quite on par with Facebook yet but give it time. While the number of staff actually participating is 'limited' at present, there has at least been a "strong reaction" from other members of staff.

    Students of course already have facbook discussion groups, some of them about courses. So the argument that people are making is right - social netowrk sites are a done deal, everything is in public. The question is do we set up and (gently) direct this normal standard everyday thing that students and research now do; or do we allow it to happen anhyway and hope for the best. In the former case it can make things much better; in the latter... well who knows.

    Blog forums on journalism have been a big success and part of turning around a course in very bad shape. It has been a breakthrough actually...

    Would be eay (but a couple of days work) to set up similar CMS and blog sites for other courses.
