Using blogs in Classrooms: an NTU case study
summary
NTU runs a 306‑student chemistry course split into 51 groups that produces weekly four‑question submissions, a final script and two videos via WordPress; the team builds a multisite workflow with Formidable Forms and My Class plugin, CAS single‑sign‑on and passworded group pages, iterates it three times, and reports slightly higher grades, renewed enrollment and a teaching award. Setup takes about a week with two people; LearnDash and Moodle are used or considered elsewhere.
