Frockle/PeerReview
Introduction
The peer review exercise includes a physical meeting at [http://www.bolton.ac.uk/university/aboutus/maps.html Bolton University] on 25th April, but entails some preliminary work beforehand. This year, rather than perform the exercise in mutually reviewing pairs, it is actually a triangular round-robin where each team reviews the work of another, within a triplet. We are reviewing the work of [http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_framework/demo_designshare.html DesignShare]. In turn, we are being reviewed by [http://www.essex.ac.uk/chimera/projects/resourcebrowser/ ResourceBrowser].
General Observations
Whilst the peer-review exercise entails reviewing one project in particular, there were a few general points I thought were worth making when I was bookmarking sites the other day.
Blogs
- If the institution hosts a blogging service then it is great to use this, as you (often) get the benefit of institutional branding.
It is easy to create a blog using a third-party hosting service, see [https://www2.blogger.com/start Blogger], [http://wordpress.com/ Wordpress], [http://www.typepad.com/ Typepad], etc. Many support the notion of having more than one author (e.g. [https://www2.blogger.com/start Blogger]).
- Having an RSS feed from your blog is a great feature to enable interested parties to keep up with your posts. Again, by using a well-known blogging service (see above point) you will almost undoubtedly great this for free.
