A move away from Google groups to Blogger

Today I met with Paul Warren to explore Google groups. We discovered that it could not offer what we thought. An alternative and possibly a better alternative is for each tutor to set up a series of blogs in Blogger, using student email addresses and creating passwords for them. Each blog would be set up with links to the tutor and all the other students in that cohort. Links would also be placed to the course content, a forum and a wiki. In this way a student could view everything from one place. I told Paul that I’d trial this – I phoned Kate about it. I’ll have to start this next week sometime, after the JISC project plan is finished.
