Courseblogs
Course blog? Think of it as a self-published web site for your class. Because it is WordPress, it’s aesthetically pleasing and easy to customize. The format encourages collaborative work and resource sharing (including media files). Of all of the course tools, a course blog usually takes the most time to set up, because it is endlessly configurable. Your blog can be publicly visible or private (visible only to your enrolled students).
