Wordpress is a blogging and content management platform. It supports both classic blogging, with a single stream of posts listed by date, and also classic website arrangements, with a variety of content pages linked by a stable navigation menu.
Wordpress allows your students to post journal or blog style entries. These can be public, private to the course, or private to the instructor, and can be a single stream or viewed one student at a time.
If you would like to give your students some experience in planning and building a website, especially one intended for public viewing or public scholarship, Wordpress is an easy-to-use platform.
Because of its powerful navigation options, Wordpress can make a good platform for showcasing projects, especially multimedia projects that include multiple types of content.
Academic Technology Services and Web and Application Development Services have partnered to create a WordPress Multisite environment to host course and class related websites. You can see examples and request a Wordpress site for yourself at the site below.
If you’d like to discuss how best to use Wordpress in your courses, please feel free to request a consultation with the LSA Learning and Teaching Consultants.
BlueCorps can assist students in learning how to use Wordpress for a course, and you can also schedule an in-class workshop for the purpose. You can contact BlueCorp to request a workshop here. Students can send individual requests here or drop in at the BlueCorp desk located in the MLB Media Center (room 2001).
