Abstract

The MIT blog service pilot came about as a direct result of customer requests. Beginning in spring 2005, our office began receiving requests for class-related blogs, some voiced with astonishment that we didn't already offer such a service. We adapted blog software to create a framework for class-related blogs and are now in our second semester of piloting -- and tweaking -- this framework.
