blogging

I’ve been researching student blogging in higher education. I find mainly 3 kinds of university blogging:
1.Student blogs run by either student services or admissions that aim to provide a “window” into student life. I assume that these are supervised in some way. Perhaps the writers are even paid. These exist in abundance.
2.Completely open blog site where anyone can publish are much more rare. These havepolicies but individual blogs don’t seem to be heavily controlled. Examples of this are: University of Minnesota and Case. Otis fits in this category for the moment.
3.Blogging encouraged either by faculty for courses or by the school, but requiring administrative approval and oversight. Often these are run on non-university open platforms.
