Welcome "Bridging" Members!
Here are some points we hope to cover in the next 10 minutes or so regarding the use of a blog to support the online component of an educational community of practice:
- Framing the presentation in a larger context: "The communication tools of the future"
- Tour of the COPPER Blog
- Description and brief history of the COPPER Cluster SoTL Community
- Development of the blog over time - growth, new directions, and current challenges
Additional issues should time permit:
- Open versus closed (password protected) sites
- Blogs versus threaded discussion boards
- Thoughts on using blogs with students
