Paul, I would like to thank you as well for posting your thoughts and observations from your experiences with the course. I help with a similiar type of course where the students produce a print and online version (I am the instructor for the online side). I have been kicking around some of the same ideas for this years group to improve on last years website and glad to see what was effective and where there is room for improvement! Like Alex, I will be sure to follow up with my results! Thanks again!

Thanks Tim – I tried to only name students who had done good stuff, but on a re-read I will delete some of those.

As the other commenters have said, this is very interesting, not least because I can compare it with what our students do. But I have a slightly squeamish reaction to the way that particular students are identified by name …

Paul, thanks for taking the time to share the results of this module in such detail. First of all, credit for both the concepts (simple but effective) and the design (as you say, great). Second, I cannot think of a greater incentive to learn and change than having a public, real-world assessment of their work.

One of my classes is about to embark on the new Business of Magazines module on the journalism course on which I teach, and we’re shaping it around launchiing an online magazine, so your feedback here is going straight into the first class of the module. I’ll make sure I come back and share our results when we’re done.

Interesting observations and findings especially around student attitudes to blogs and the effort they put in. Look forward to following the results / postings from the online journalism courses.
