Advice to Baruch College
Baruch College getting more and more up to date with new media in our society today. One of the things Baruch College is blackboard. It really is a good way for us students to see any assignments or our grades on assignments that we did for class, and for professors as well to put the grades in and keep track of a student's progress in the class. Even though blackboard is good there is a downside to it though. Last semester blackboard more than once was down for days. The students couldn't see their grades on assignments and also get information about newly posted assignments. Professors couldn't put in any grades or retrieve any grades if that was there only source that contained their students grades and they could not post any new assignments on blackboard. Baruch College can start using the wiki and all the professors too who use blackboard as an alternative to blackboard to post new assignments, grades and students can use it too. The wiki is simple to use so I can see as an alternative to blackboard if it goes down again like how it did last semester.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using Wiki to replace black board. However, one must consider the fact that wiki has many issues when it comes to secury. However, I agree with the idea of using wiki to facilitate communication among students.
Oh wow, I wrote about the same thing! What a coincidence, but I do agree with Anselmo. Just as there are many issues with Blackboard, there are issues in wikis as well.. Security is a big issue here. Since institutions must be properly secured, it has to be password protected. Maybe, wiki should have an option like that so that it eliminates this anomaly and to make a Baruch wiki more exclusive to its students. In my blog, I only wanted Baruch to use a wiki to post course syllabi and other information about Baruch and the undergraduate courses it offers and to provide more information about it so that students are better prepared for each semester and knows what to expect from each class they anticipate in taking. I didn't want it to post our grades and our transcripts in a wiki, though, but if it give the option of being password-protected that will allow it to be only viewed by its students, then why not?
