A few weeks ago, Andi Stepnick posted something about having students post journal entries to WebCT. I'm curious as to how this works because I was thinking of doing something similar. Many years ago, back in the pre-Internet dark ages, I had students keep journals. I required two entries each week. In each journal entry, students were to try to link an idea from the course to something specific from their first-hand experience. It worked well with some students, but having to read and comment on so much handwritten material was burdensome.
So I was thinking of having students do something similar now but on Blackboard -- a sort of collective blog. Each student could see what others were posting, and they could make comments. Perhaps discussions would get started. I wonder if others have experience with class blogs, and how anyone thinks something like this would work, what problems might arise, how it would be graded, etc. Any suggestions?
