Several of our academic selectors and collaborators use learning logs in their teaching – a type of blog provided by Spoken Word Services to empower students “to think for yourself, work on your own and contribute your work to the work of a group”. This type of conversational learning between teachers and students is driven by our pedagogical approach, and is consistent with the mission and vision of Glasgow Caledonian University.

Our blogs are powered by a WordPress multi-user (MU) installation. Below are some examples of learning logs in action at Glasgow Caledonian University.

1. Dear Green – Postgraduate MA Multimedia Journalism blog – module leader Claire Dean
2. Privatisation & Regulation (EcoE404) – module leader Alan Hutton
3. Political Economy of Economic Performance (EcoE431:PEEP) – module leaders Alan Hutton and David Donald
4. Scotland, the media and national identity – module leader Douglas Chalmers
5. The Centre for Political Song (part of GCU Library Research Collections)
