Generally speaking, CourseWeb is for student projects and because CourseWeb is available to anyone to create a blog, some of the functionality has been limited.
Characteristic | CourseWeb |
Who can request a blog | Anyone with a Langara email address, and the blog is automatically generated. Students can therefore request their own blog site. |
Who can be added to blog user list | Anyone with a valid email address can be added to users list by blog owner. |
Who can create Content | Only members of a blog’s User List may contribute content (see above for who can be added to the User List). |
Who can view blog, Pages, or Posts | Some privacy options are available. |
Who can Comment on Pages or Posts | Anyone, as allowed by owner. |
