Interesting. Very interesting. blogs.setonhill.edu

Seton Hill University students and staff can get a free Movable Type weblog, courtesy of the humanities division and the new media journalism program. (Thanks to Six Apart, makers of Movable Type.)

Blogging meets the academy. Nice. Very nice.

:: University of Minnesota Libraries looks to be one step closer in setting up a large scale MT installation for students and staff. I didn’t have a clue what x.500 id meant but it sure sounded good.

    Thanks for the plug!

    While there are some students who treat blogging simply as homework, and therefore do the minimum necessary or not even that, there’s definitely a critical mass of social bloggers on the “New Media Journalism @ Seton Hill University” website, as well as several who are using the medium to practise humor and commentary essays of all sorts… this term I’m having students blog their outline and links for seminar presentations before they present in class, and I’ve been pleased with the results so far.

    I hope that more of my colleagues will start using blogs in their teaching.

    Good to hear from you! Keep us updated on how things turn out with your blogging experiments. Blogs are a relatively easy tool to implement with not a lot of training required. I hoep you can get some colleagues on board.
