learning

Currently looking into the viability of teaching blogging to academic staff and students, at Sussex University initially. It’s certainly the way things are and need to be going. Heck, Universities created the internet for these reasons in the first place, but long-lead-time dead-tree journals seem to have taken over the publishing side of things and there is not a lot of deep content out there.
Specific (participant) outcomes expected:

- Your own free weblog site for individual or group publishing.

- Instantly and easily publish your own or a group’s academic /
creative work (in progress or completed) online, without having to wait
for it to be updated by webmasters.

- Share thoughts and work with an extended learning community for
feedback and discussion.

- Collect thoughts, notes, longer pieces / items and reflect on your
own learning with private or public posts.

- Support the development of student and staff voice and collegiality

- Develop greater confidence in expressing yourself

- Be heard!

- Enhance your public profile for media and public speaking.
So far the response has been great. Will see what doors starts to open…
