Within the WIST course - Communication Pathways into University COMM40105 that I currently teach at CQUniversity I have student start a writing journal. Writing this journal as part of their overall course work is aimed at engaging writing skills and critical thinking as well as being able to reflect on personal changes as they progress with their studies.
This said, I can see how an electronic blog could be equally, if not more effective. However part of the journal writing that I encourage is also focused on the ability to keep a journal to outline some private thoughts, feeling etc and to use this as a venting space. With this in mind some minor alterations would be required here to enable student/teacher view to commence with, and have further options for students to invite other students should they wish.
