Create a blog

Please differentiate:

  • Create blog (= create course element/learning resource blog and insert into the course)

    You can find out how to create and configure a new blog as a course owner on separate pages. A distinction must be made between the course element "Blog" and the learning resource "Blog". You can integrate external blogs as well as create and use a new OpenOlat learning resource "Blog".

  • Create blog entry (= add a post to an existing blog)

    Course owners/coaches should at least initially create the initial questions or texts. Readers can then comment on and evaluate them.

    It is also possible to give participants the right to write a blog so that they can run a course blog together. To create blog entries, click on the "Add entry" button and then write the blog entry.

  • Comment on blog entry (= comment on existing blog entries)

    All course members can comment on posts. To post a comment or read existing comments, click on the "Comments" link. You can also see the comments of other blog readers.
    See Blogging, comment on posts

  • Rating a blog entry (= rate existing blog entries with stars)

    All course members can rate posts with 1-5 stars. To give a rating, click on the stars displayed. You can also see the ratings of other blog readers.
    See Blogging, assess posts
