Remote marking

Using student blogs I was able to assess student progress on multimedia projects remotely. Student and assessor did not have to be simultaneously present. Using the student's blog link saved time. I did not have to have a specific document (like an exam script) in front of me. This made a virtue of being in a virtual world. The death of distance worked for me.

This is documented in my recent paper "Blogs, ba and care: virtue in a virtual world."
