Gathering Student Input Through a Weblog
The ofice of the Dean od Undergraduate Edication is using a Movable Type weblog (which I've set up for them) to gather input from students. Student Discussion on the Undergraduate Educational Commons was set up back in December. The point was to understand how students felt about the changes they are proposing MIT's curriculum.
I'm not sure how they advertised it, but their calls for input received scores of replies. The comments are eally interesting to read, you get a real impressions of how MIT students feel about the required subjects list.
Next week the committees report will be psted, and more comments requested. this time the page will be spotlighted from the MIT homepage, so there will sure to be a lot of response.
