We intend to compare the more 'private' personal communication that a blog implies, with the more public open forum that something like a discussion board encourages (in a learning context). However, we both dislike the WebCT discussion board, so we're going to try using a wiki instead. We intend to simultaneously conduct joint discussions on the relative merits of each form of communication in the wiki, and each keep a private weblog too over the course of around 3 weeks-ish. The wiki and the weblogs will make up the greater part of our assignment, but at the end of our few weeks we will get together and write a summary piece on a webpage which aims to pull all the strands together.
