This blog is about my studies during the second half of my exchange year in Valencia, more specifically on the course by the name the Next Generation Internet, which is a fifth year course held in collaboration with the two other technology universities from Madrid and Catalunya. The lectures are held via videoconference by professors from the different schools using the Isabel application.
This blog is used for two targets. First, after each lecture I am to write a short summary and my thoughts on the presented subjects and secondly there will be a course assignment that will be done in groups of three and for which the information is shared using this blog and the course's wiki. With proper approval, I shall write the lecture summaries in english and see about the matter conserning the group assignment depending on the appointed group. Writing spanish is not a problem as such, but english is usually still for me a lot less clumsy.
As for my tardy discovery of the need for the lecture summaries, I've begun writing this blog as four of the lectures have already passed (not including the first lecture which was merely an introduction to the course and the methods and tools that are used with it). The summaries for the earlier lectures will be written in retrospect when I have time.
The scope of this course as of now strikes as being quite diverse due to the sheer number of lecturers and subjects. While I generally do fancy the refreshing novelty of videoconference-shared sessions and especially the use of such promising tools as wikis, the varying scope does pose some question about the consistency of the course's subjects.
I have personally found the use of a wiki to be a very potent solution for research done in teams, but I don't really see the need for making seperate blogs using other services as it would be fairly easy to maintain a blog-like diary or such inside the wiki itself.
