The latest issue of Ariadne is now available, with most articles in this issue focusing on accessibility. In this article, the author argues that "that blogs are generally very useful support for personal reflections and that this can be further enhanced by the mobility of PDAs. These and other blogs can be read into VLEs using syndicated newsfeeds, for which a new Bodington tool offers considerable flexibly." I think the idea of reading student content into an LMS is an important one, especially when that content is produced in any of dozens of services available on the net - Flickr, del.icio.us, Blogger, and so on. That said, I expect such content to be, in the main, much more than merely personal reflections (though we'll probably have to go through years of debate and angst as academics argue about the relative merits of student-generated academic content).
