Blogging @ the UA
Spring Semester 2005
- Professor John Warnock's Community Literacy Practicum, English 594
- Paul Umbarger's Nursing 572 Pharmacotherapeutics for Nurse Practitioner. NURS572 is another example of how the blogs can be customized to brand them with departments and colleges.
- Bill Endres is teaching two sections of English 102 and in each section, each student has her/his own blog. Bill is using one as well to post summaries, observations, instructions, etc. to the students. Bill is using instructional blogs for the third semester.
- Roxanne Mountford has had blogs created for each student in her English 396A course and is using her own blog for the course as Bill is doing.
- Sharon Ewing is using instructional blogging for the second time with her Nursing 620-06 course, Primary Care of the Adult.
- Two instructors in ARE130, Stephanie Lynch and Elizabeth Garber, Appreciating the Visual Arts are using blogs in their courses.
- Professor Thomas Horgan is using a blog in his Philosophy 596C Epistemology Seminar. Students are posting entries re: their seminar readings.
- Maite Correa is using a blog to foster discussion on readings in her Spanish 330 Conversacion Blog
- Leila Hudson is using the MOO with her NES/HIST 277 class and has recently added three blogs. Students enrolled in the class are playing the roles of real and fictitious characters and Middle Eastern media outlets in a fictitious Middle Eastern political scenario. (very interesting use of instructional blogging)
- I created a couple other blogs for courses but there is no activity in them.
- Kurt Fenstermacher, who had a blog for an MIS course he taught fall semester, decided to have a blog with his MIS 574 Software Design spring semester course in which he would post entries to which students would comment.
