N. Sivasothi, from the Deparment of Biological Sciences, reflects on his usage of the Animal Behaviour Module Blog:

NUS Module Blog I tried it out and a blog is more visual than the forum. Useful when highlighting web sites or material I cite. It is a dedicated page which is suitable for this particular cross-fac modules which has, as a significant objective, an awareness-raising component.

Next semester however, four modules beckon - marine biology, life form and function, biodiversity and ecology. These are for biology and not cross-faculty students. It might be better to blog in just one site as some of the posts may be relevant across modules. The Biology Refugia already exists and blogger has tags now. Might be simpler. For my non-blogging colleagues however, NUS Module might just be the thing, which is sort of its intent.

Siva uses the Animal Behaviour blog to highlight interesting articles, photos and videos of animal behaviour. He makes it clear that the content is not examinable, so the blog works as informal and fun place to learn about animal behaviour from real-life examples.
