Blog Implementation Model in Higher education
was pleased to read a recent article that creates a framework for use and adoption of blogs in higher education.The article is Kerawalla, L., Minocha, S., Kirkup, G., & Conole, G. (2009). An empirically grounded framework to guide blogging in higher education. Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 25(1). I normally wouldn’t link to or blog about the article as it is walled in a proprietary garden, but the special issue on Social Software and learning in the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning is available (at least today) as a free sample.The Framework consists of general considerations related to the functionality of the blog, its use relationship with other course tools and its role in pedagogy. The Framework then presents a raft of question to guide planning and implementation. The Framework is a good start and asks many of the detailed questions that will lead to much better, or at least more thoughtful implementation of blogs in formal courses.

"Personal Integration: Personal integration takes up the call for Personal Learning Environments. The blog software should connect to and ideally be the same tool used by the learner in their everyday world. The learning applications must also make personal sense and be perceived as having value to the individual learner."
