Blogging @ Bournemouth University : Next Generation Implications

by Mr Andy Pulman, Mr Andy Worth

The Blogging @ Bournemouth University project commenced in July 2005 and has been running for over a year. It aims to research blogging, examining current good practice and focusing on the emergent area of edublogging (the educational use of blogs).

The project has also initiated a range of case studies with staff and students from two Academic schools - the Institute of Health & Community Studies and Services Management - using a variety of blogging tools hosted externally and internally.

This paper brings together the project findings so far to provide a thought provoking evaluation which will help to inform future strategy regarding the use of blogs as learning and teaching tools at Bournemouth University.

Do current students and academics want to engage with blogs?
Is the current technology capable of meeting their demands?
What are the implications for the next generation of academics and students?
