EduResources Weblog--Higher Education Resources Online
This weblog focuses on locating, evaluating, discussing, and providing guidelines to instructional resources for faculty and students in higher education. The emphasis is on free, shared, HE resources. Related topics and news (about commercial resources, K-12 resources, T&D resources, educational technology, digital libraries, distance learning, open source software, metadata standards, cognitive mapping, etc.) will also be discussed--along with occasional excursions into more distant miscellaneous topics in science, computing, and education. The EduResources Weblog operates in conjunction with a broader weblog called The Open Learner about using open knowledge resources across a diversity of subjects, levels, and interests for a wide range of learners and learning communities--students in schools and colleges, home schoolers, hobbyists, vocational learners, retirees, and others.

This article by John Baggaley is from the July/August issue of The Technology Source. "'Blogging' is a rather inadequate term for this educational use of Web syndication technology, which partially evolved from the diaries or 'weblogs' generated with instant publishing methods. It would be useful to substitute other terms for 'blog' and 'blogging' in the context of online course production; for as more educational researchers discover the valuable empirical data contained in Web server log files, confusion between weblogs and server logs is likely to result." "Numerous instant publishing services have become available since Blogger was launched. As content management systems continue to evolve, the CDE and Athabasca University in general are likely to move away from the otherwise efficient services of Blogger toward completely in-house solutions. As they do so, an increasing number of faculty members will embrace the blogging philosophy, and, as Davies (2003) has indicated, the contents of instant publishing will gain academic credibility. Meanwhile, all hail to Blogger for pointing online educational publishing in the right direction."
