Create a Course Blog
You are required to create a blog if you wish to be assessed to obtain formal credit for completing this course. However, we encourage everyone who is enrolled in LiDA 101 to create a course blog: it will help you improve your skills and network with your peers.
You can use any blog platform that is able to tag or label your posts. We recommend you register your blog with OERu which supports WordPress and Blogger. They may not be able to harvest posts for the course feed using blogging platforms that do not support categories, tags, or labels. If you would like to use an existing blog, OERu will harvest posts that are tagged or labelled using the course code: lida101. However, you may wish to create a new dedicated course blog.
The first learning challenge for this course will take you through the steps to set up your blog.
