I’m working with a UMB faculty member who is teaching an online physics course for four semesters. The course currently consists of readings and discussions. I’ve made numerous suggestions to him that he should allow students to use blogs so that can reflect on the learning process in the course but to date he’s resisted the idea. In the fall we’ll be launching a blogging network at Umass Boston. I’m hoping once he starts using blogs himself or a the very least sees other folks in his departments using them that he’ll start warming up to the idea.
