Blogs in tutorials

"... [S]tudents taking up the philosophy course on Reason and Persuasion attend tutorials with a difference.

"Every fortnight, they have the usual face-to-face sessions with their tutors. But every other week, they attend tutorials online, by contributing to a discussion in a weblog set up by their course lecturer, Assistant Professor John Holbo."
