Live Blog a Class

So there was been a lot of talk in the media lately about live blogging… CoverItLive seems to be a big player in this field. 

What about the idea of LiveBlogging a class?  Or perhaps having an assignment for students to liveblog something they are doing.  It could be pretty sweet. 

What do you think?

I’ve been experimenting with CoverItLive. I used it to live blog a couple of meetings for someone who couldn’t be there. If students could live blog a lecture, others could play it back later. You could gain insight into what they are picking up from your lectures. I wonder if others have suggestions.

Jeff,
That’s a great idea to use CoverItLive in a class. I was thinking it would make sense to have F2F students cover the class live (in small groups/taking turns) and then invite online students to watch live or view the archive. You could end up with a great collection of notes. I love the quiz feature especially. Can’t wait to try it!
