This blog is an attempt to:
- foster engagement with an increasingly important form of internet mediated communication (i.e. blogging)
- take discussion out of the class room and onto the web in order to help us to exploit the vast range of module relevant materials in cyberspace
- boost your control over the agenda of the module itself by having an open forum whose content influences our weekly face-to-face meetings and end of term conference
There are two key ways you can interact with the blog:
- Create altogether new posts -- if you've found a good resource, a news story or just have something you want to say then log-in and click new post link (you can click the link here to take you straight there or the new post link on the module home page or on the sidebar of the blog itself)
- Add comments to posts by others -- if you want to respond or add to something someone else has said that click the comments link at the foot of their message. You can do all the same things here as in a normal post - leave links etc - but the message will appear underneath the same heading and help readers to see that the two posts are connected.
If you're new to blogging it may take a few posts to get used to this, but I am hoping it won't take long for you all to become comfortable with the process. If you're feeling a bit lost or just want to learn more about the blog's features then try the help pages.
