Blogs
Blog servers allow students to create ongoing journals of writings. Other students and teacher can read the Blog and post comments and responses. Access to the journal by outside audiences is subject to some user control (LiveJournal generally has more access restriction capabilities than Blogger).
Journal LX, a product by Learning Objects, Inc., permits the instructor to create journals for students inside the password protected Blackboard environment. Journals can be made available for editing and commenting by individual students, by groups, and by the entire class. The instructor always has access to all journals and therefore can establish meaningful written communication with students in writing in private spaces within Blackboard. Journal LX is very similar to PB Wiki in that it allows for text editing and for uploading media rich content. Teams LX, another of the Learning Objects building blocks, is described below.
