EXPLANATION OF THIS SITE:

This was the blog VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) that was used for my course in Catalan Culture, September-December 2004.

The class weblog is connected to individual learner weblogs, accessible through the links next to the photos of the students on the left.

The year before, I ran a class weblog only : http://cat-cult.blogspot.com/

Although successful, I found it difficult to manage the assignment part - assigning each student with an individual weblog made this much easier to assess.

This year (2005), I plan to use Elgg, which not only offers a blogging space for each student, but also features such as file storage. Setting up a group has also given us a wiki.

End of course

Hi everyone! The course in Catalan Culture has now ended, but remember you can still keep in touch via email or using this blog.

We will be using what you have written during the next course with Erasmus students, in September 2005, and your weblogs will remain active here as a record of the work you have done and the good time you spent in Barcelona.

Here's wishing you all the best for the future, and remember to come and see us again when you're next in Barcelona!
