Abstract

This chapter reflects on recent experience in guiding students in the use of Weblogs as formative assessment in two university courses. Taking the social constructionist framework for learning as a starting point, the chapter reflects specifically on the problem of integrating the literacies and social communication skills that are peculiar to effective blogging into the preexist-ing "elaborated systems" of higher education.
