Blogs Wishlist
Its great to have blogs on Moodle, but we should expect more of Moodle's blogs. Let's make a wishlist.
How do I link to a specific Blog entry ?
The so called blogosphere bores out of the inter-linking between blog entries, but right now you don't know how to link to a concrete blog entry. Blog entries should have a link to refer themselves. We can only link user's blogs to categories.
Blog entry resume
A view of the blogs entries that gives only 3-5 lines of the blog entry, so a reader can view a lot of entries on one site and click on a "continue reading" link or so on.
Block Blog Tools
Some blog tools to view blog entries that wolud be nice to have:
- Last Blog entries.
- per user
- per category
- per course
- per site
- Blog search
- Most readed, commented voted blog entries ( and vote for blog entry, of course )
Blogs as course activities?
Blogs were touted as replacing the Journal activity, which was a course level activity for reflective writing etc. The blogs system as of v1.6 seems to remove blogs from the context of courses (excluding course-level tags) even though they can be accessed from within the course through the Blogs block. The admininstration of blogs seems to be a rather broad brush - once the settings are specified centrally on the server they can't be modified. A vision for this might be:
- Blog as an Activity in a course
- Teacher able to set up blog with various parameters and should be able to:
- Specifiy a timeframe for when blog needs to be posted
- Label all posts in response to this activity with certain tags
- Decide whether this particular blog activity is visible to course/group/institution/teacher & pupil only/the wider world
- Should this be an assessed activity? If it's really replacing Journal, then almost certainly...
- Blog posts which come out of this activity should be part of the user's wider personal blog
- If comments do happen on blogs, then each course-centred blog should be able to accept comments just from teachers, from peers, or from no-one
- Teacher able to set up blog with various parameters and should be able to:
