Simon Brookes
Senior Lecturer at Portsmouth University. Professional interestes include Enterprise Education, Alternate Reality Games and technology for teaching.
I have been using the Posterous blog platform as a formative
learning/reflection tool for my classes for a couple of years now.
Posterous is great because students can email contributions to the blog
directly (and include images, movies etc) without needing access to the
blog interface.
The way I use it is pretty simple. We do activities in class
(lecture/workshop) then I task the students with "homework" which
normally involves some form of personal application of the classroom
learning. They summarise this as a blog post.
You can see my current cohort's efforts here:
