- Yes. An online psychology class I took at a previous college required us to give our input on various topics we covered in a blog format.
- I also published one for a while that covered different ideas and ramblings that I came across
- What were the positive aspects of using the blogs in the course?
- They help reinforce concepts discussed in lecture/readings
- They forced me to organize my thoughts on the class concepts in a more structured manner
- What difficulties did you encounter in using the blogs? (both technical and conceptual)
- The prompts were quite straightforward and the blogging platform easy to use.
- If you had difficulties in using the blog, how were you able to overcome the difficulties you encountered?
- I found it useful to remind myself with visual reminders of deadlines/ print out the prompts so I didn't miss them or forget to write them on time
- What types of blog prompts were more or less interesting or difficult? (provide an example and rationale)
- The studio system and radio industry prompts were less interesting, mostly because it seemed like a verbatim regurgitation of facts / a list of things read.
- The ones about Film structure, types of shots, and advertising were more interesting to me, because it seemed more inviting to open ended thought/discussion type writing instead of just a list of facts
- Would you recommend using a blog in future course, either in RTF 305 and other undergraduate courses at UT-Austin? (explain why..)
- I believe the blog was a useful tool, but could be revised/improved upon.
- What would you suggest to change or improve the blogging experience in the future?
- Make the blogs more involved, less about simply regurgitating information, in order to make them even more useful as a study tool. Also, I feel students would be more on time with the blogs/interested in them if they were more involved
Yes, you can use my blog in a paper or report.
