Using Weblogs in Teaching - Dr John Holbo

I am the proud winner of the CIT-sponsored NUS Students' Choice Award for best module website, 2003/4. Strength in numbers: I maintain six sites for the module in question, PH1101EGEM1004 "Reason and Persuasion". There is a main site, a site for online readings, and four associated weblogs. In this article, by way of telling you what I did right (near as I can figure), I'm mostly going to tell you about 'blogs', as they are called.

Whatever it may be called, RSS is a means of delivering content directly from the author to its recipient automatically, instantaneously and without viruses, spam and other electronic nuisance.
