Hi all!
I couldn't find much information on the topic above so I thought I'd post here to see if I get some responses.
I'm currently designing a totally asynchronous collegial level French Second Language course where the students have to imagine themselves in a student exchange program, taking place in one of 3 francophone Québécois cities. To document their virtual adventures, I would like to have them create a travel blog. Initially, it was proposed to use a wordpress but we were turned down by our college's administration. I'm now considering using the Moodle blog but I'm not sure how well it does as a blog. For those of you who have used this functionality in the past, can you tell me what you feel are the pros and cons of using it? Can the learner personalize the interface or are they just going to publish blog posts with embedded pics, videos and audio?
Thanks in advance!
