Blogging is a viable course assignment and supplies quality learning content for students. It provides them a medium to reach other students and provides a method for students to view themselves as an aspiring scholar. As instructors a quality rubric and way of grading will need to be established, the blog needs to be formally included in the class and instructors cannot simply sit back and wait for a blogging community to manifest itself. This also adds unique and engaging assignments, which are always welcome in the online learning environment.
