In many places around Campus Pack, hovering over a name will bring up more profile information about that student, such as their picture, if they have used one, their username and their email address. To access this, staff have to actually enter each identically named blog and hope there is enough information inside it to enable them to identify the particular student. This is Wales after all and we have a high proportion of 'Jones'... The only solution to this at the moment is to make a point of encouraging students with, if you pardon the expression, fairly 'common' names, to upload a picture of themselves, their pet, a bar of soap, anything to make identifying them easier.Mike Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446783588359525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912259919974321462.post-15966610470055802682012-10-25T12:51:10.562+01:002012-10-25T12:51:10.562+01:00Because the 'assignment blog' relies on st...Because the 'assignment blog' relies on students to create it when they click on 'View' for the first time, students and staff were a bit confused about the order of contacting each other. I have just been in to talk to them about it. <br />Another thing that came up was to do with staff getting notified about modules they were not supervising on. This would be ok for personal tutors to keep an eye on but not academic supervisors. The best suggestion came from the student who helped me demo the system. She said that she planned to use the module code in the title to each post and that would then appear in the email, allowing staff to scan through for relevant posts. This is one we'll have to keep an eye on because staff are rightly jealous about their time getting wasted.Mike Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446783588359525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912259919974321462.post-38918589652445884672012-10-25T11:06:32.897+01:002012-10-25T11:06:32.897+01:00Thanks AM!

I've joined the group now... not least with my secondment hat lowering from the gloom of the near future (although that is for 'postgrad' of course). <br />Students cannot give access to individual posts. There is a clear issue here of locus of control and in this case it has moved towards the students if it has not gone as far as Nick Webb's nice platform. I did look at that while he was still at Cardiff but I was also concerned about support and costings - both of these are covered by Learning Objects Campus Pack being essentially an Information Services service. I think there is something here also about the best way to embed the information fluency practices and maximize potential engagement from staff AND students.

Have you seen the discussions about blogs as portfolios that we have been having over on the LinkedIn group?<br />http://lnkd.in/KGzpw2<br /><br />I had thought that maybe there would be an option within Blackboard. Can students give access to individual blog posts with this option to ask for comments?<br /><br />We have an inhouse eportfolio but always useful to think about other options.<br /><br />Thanks<br />AMAnne Marie Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289974924032448531noreply@blogger.com
