Leila Hudson, who is an assistant professor in Middle Eastern Studies, and I have a proposal in for a presentation at next summer's Syllabus2005 conference in Anaheim. The proposal centers around the LTC's roll-out of blogging to the campus this academic year, after a year of exploration. We have had a number of different and interesting (at least to me) uses of blogging in instruction. This is especially the case with Leila who is using blogs in her INDV103 class, her grad seminar and with students she is directing for research projects or a thesis.
Pithamber Polsani and I are working towards developing a questionnaire from which we will interview faculty members who have introduced blogging in their courses and from that hope to collect some interesting information to report on at a conference that Pithamber is involved in. It's called CATE2005, Computers and Advanced Technology in Education. It's great to be involved with such dynamic professors.
