Following a suggestion arising from our informal midterm evaluation, I have added to the information about your blogs the fact that you can, from now on, submit blog posts as (embedded) video blogs. NB that all the other instructions about blogs (inclusion of a question, use of categories and tags etc.) still apply…
Video blogs: If you want to do so, you are able to submit videos for your weekly reading responses. A video blog should be 5-10 minutes long, should fulfil the same function as a written blog (sparking discussion and so on), and should also include a question. You should upload it to a video site (such as YouTube or Vimeo) that allows you then to embed it within your blog. Then, publish your blog post with the embedded video in it, again by 11:59pm on Mondays.
