The Transformative Potential of Blogs for Research in Higher Education
Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana L.; Bess, James L.
Journal of Higher Education, v83 n2 p249-275 Mar-Apr 2012
We explore the benefits and limitations of traditional academic research, collaboration, and knowledge dissemination, and discuss the potential of blogs towards better meeting the higher education research community's needs. We present possible parameters of use, reward structures, and how the field can model this innovative means of academic collaboration. (Contains 5 notes.)
