Thanks for these excellent guidelines, Barbara. I have something similar in my courses at Uni of Newcastle in Australia but in addition also add to the guidelines:

“If during this assignment you receive unwelcome visitation or activity on your blog you should contact the course coordinator immediately and cease using the blog.”

We have had one incident where a student received unsavourly “solicitations” from an unknown commenter and didn’t want the uni to be liable for student harassment. Students are also encouraged not to include personal information. I include in my guidelines:

“When setting up the blog, students should not include personal information like photos of themselves, location, contact details, star signs and hobbies etc that could encourage people from outside the course to make a nuisance of themselves. This is not a MySpace page!”

I published a paper last year on my blog assessment in case you are interested:

These are great tips that can be applied elsewher for sure. Many people ate new to blogging and may write without being aware of future results.

Thanks for the Creative Commons tip, David. I use CompFight and set it to look for Creative Common Only. That might be worth another blog post.

Tim,

Great idea . . . maybe I’ll start a blog post about the topic and ask others to chime in.
