This paper provides details on ten HSC case studies using a variety of internal and external blogging tools during 2006. This addresses the first aim of the Blogging @ BU project which was helping to inform future Bournemouth University strategy regarding the use of blogs. All case study participants were either interviewed or replied to a short questionnaire during late 2006 as a checkpoint to evaluate their experience so far. The paper will discusses these experiences and focus on particular points of interest from a strategic and personal viewpoint.

My TechDis HEAT scheme project report has now been published. The project aimed to investigate the use of the Nintendo DS and Brain Training package as a study support tool to assist students requiring help with numeracy skills during the autumn term of 2006. The outcomes were very interesting and it is hoped to continue this project in a wider context seeking the top up kit requested in our original bid to investigate further educational uses of the Nintendo DS Lite in the near future….
