Nils Peterson blogs about our presentation

Nils Peterson poses some interesting comments about our SSAW 05 presentation: Blogging at Middlebury College. He wonders how we managed threaded discussions with perhaps 30 students. First, Barbara and I were both lucky not to have more than 16-18 students in our writing classes. Second, in my last class I combined MT and Segue (Middlebury‘s course managment system), and I used Segue for our discussion space. segue.jpg Segue discussions can be viewed as threaded or flat, and I don’t think students had trouble following the discussion. Segue, also, makes it easy for the faculty member to track student participation in the discussion.segue2.jpg
