Blogging - Science topic

What do we mean by blogging linguistics?

I'm curious about the difference between those researchers who spend a lot of time in social media, blogging, and more (like me), and others that don't event have a social or online presence. How do you find these platforms useful?

Dear R^G community,

I would like to open this thread in order to have some feedback gain about the importance of creating and developing a virtual teaching portfolio (VTP).

According to Wikipedia [1] an Electronic portfolio - EP has the following definition, I unquote:

"An electronic portfolio (also known as a digital portfolio, online portfolio, e-portfolio, e-folio, or eFolio) is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include input text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression. If they are online, users can maintain them dynamically over time."

In this thread, we aim to understand the differences between a virtual teaching portfolio-VTP and a scholar blog-SB where not only we share written documentation---but also learning and teaching experiences, becomes crucial for a teacher`s career.

Thank you all.

What are your personal opinion / experiences about tools such Twitter in health care context. Any tips to use twitter more efficiently or evidence based tweeting or live tweeting during conferences?

Inviting stalwarts / bloggers / researchers

for some brainstorming inputs in health care frame work.

Terry Tao blogged about this unfortunate event. Kindly share among Mathematical community and increase awareness.

Thanks.

While critical reflection may have it's own value, particularly for the training of student teachers, for personal development, we sometimes need to go deeper than blogging, or recording thoughts and observations. What methods of analysis might be best used to analyze any written or observed reflections, in order to re-design or further tweak courses at the tertiary level?

Hi there,

in my research group we have currently launched our research blog (https://www.transient-spaces.org/blog/) on urbanisation, mobilities, and digitisation. We are looking for other nice research blogs to relate to and to get in touch with. So in this thread I would like to collect other research blogs your like.

I am looking forward to all your tips, hints and links!

PS.

Just as side information our blog is open for contributions from all over the world and across disciplines (https://www.transient-spaces.org/blog/) and it even is DOI-registered.

I am planning to do my master's degree research in blogging, web content writing and in order to make it more practical and worthwhile I need some advice. As for me, I would like to analyse the language of blogs in IT or business world, focusing on semantic and structural features, or else I can diverge to pragmatics and study the persuasive component of web content.

P.S. I am studying Business Communications, the main subjects are Business English, Visual Communication, Marketing, Effective Business Communication Management, Persuasion and culture.

The medium is still very much based off of bias and opinion, but there is still a very clear distinction between the good and unreadable content. Even the largest journalistic publications have some sort of slant to them. I believe the way I would evaluate blogging in this sense is how many people view this medium as a trusted source to get their information and literary enrichment?

Studying travel writing often means analysing the work of established authors but has anyone worked on developing their own travel writing or taught travel writing as part of a tourism or English Literature module, please? At postgraduate and PhD level has anyone heard of practice-led research in the researcher's own blogging or travel writing practices. Finally, has anyone seen published articles linking place-making or place branding and the role of the blogger or travel writer, please?

Thanks in advance for any help or refs.

Warm wishes

Video blogging can be a great tool to improve speaking proficiency, therefore, I want to measure how useful it is in the Ecuadorian context. In order to do this a sample of 50 from 3rd and 4th level students will be taken to apply the project. The 50 students will take the speaking section of the PET, Preliminary English Test by Cambridge Assessment, in order to know their English level before applying the video blog. It is worth adding that the speaking test will be recorded and assessed, using the same parameters from PET, by three teachers that don’t know the students to get more accurate results. The students will know that they are going to be recorded during the test. 25 students will do a writing blog and 25 will do a video blog at the end of each unit of their integrated skills coursebook during 3 months. The writing blogs will be from 150 words to 200 and the video blogs will be 2 to 3 minutes long. The prompt for both will be related to the unit main topic. For instance, if unit 1 is about health, student’s blog prompt will be related to it. After the 3 months , another PET speaking proficiency test will be given to students to measure the project success.

Blogging has become such a popular thing these days.  I am interested to know how persons feel about using this as an educational tool.  Which subjects would it be best suited for?

Mommy blogs are common in Europe, the US and South East Asia. I have not read about an Arabic equivalent, although a decade ago, I know Persian was in the top ten language blogs were written in. Does anyone know of work on this?

SciBraai.co.za is a blog about South African science and scientists, and it encourages local scientists to share their own research in laymen's terms. Thoughts?

Based on my previous studies as shown in the links below, blogs are perceived to be more useful rather than easy-to-use for online journal writing among Malaysian undergraduates with and without hands-on experience. The same findings also appear in Malaysian university diploma students, who have been exposed to using blogs for journal writing and CV writing in different studies.
