Software Description

A new component will be produced that will allow blogs to be integrated into Bodington VLE via syndicated feeds from blog servers.

Aims and Objectives

The aim of this project is broadly to enhance support for learner reflection in their Personal Learning Environment (PLE), their own evolving, individual learning space, in such a way that they can share and receive selected response to their reflections in the context of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). 

The project will fulfil these aims through the use of Web logs (blogs) as a reflective authoring activity. 

The specific objectives are:

1. The creation of a new blogging component that will allow Web log content to be incorporated and viewed in Bodington, an open source VLE.
2. The provision of guidelines on how similar components could be developed for other e-learning systems.
3. The provision of guidelines to set up and support the off-line authoring of Web log entries on a PDA, the subsequent uploading to a Web log server and the incorporation in a VLE.
