Glossary definition

blog: A blog is a regularly updated website, written in a conversational style. Blogs are typically written by an individual or small group and contain a commenting feature so that readers can respond. By asking students to write a blog you are asking them to clearly express their ideas in accessible language. Blogs are useful methods for teaching students to write in a style that is different from formal academic writing. Furthermore, collegiality between students can be encouraged by allowing (or requiring) students to comment on each other’s work.
