The English Majors' Weblog started as a project to encourage my university (Western Kentucky University) to develop a WordPress blog server on campus for anyone who needed the platform to create academic resources for our community.
Encouraged by this initial effort I was able to convince my department head to create an internship to expand the work of the blog beyond what my limited time could manage.
After two years I convinced my new department head to help create a collective internship with five undergraduates in major specializations ranging from creative writing to professional writing to secondary teaching. This is the first semester of collective blogging.
Our efforts can be described in much the same way that David Weinberger did in his book Small Pieces Loosely Joined--a Protean attempt to bring meaning to the complex identity creation that is at the core of becoming an English major. We have tried to do that by mashing up, remixing, and connecting numerous free (if not entirely open) tools. The slides that follow try to describe them.

Bridges of Understanding: Web-site Usability CritiqueSteven Spenser
The document provides a lengthy critique of the Bridges Web-site with 57 points highlighting issues and recommendations for improvement. Key issues identified include: 1) The index/home page does not adequately describe what Bridges is and fails to engage visitors; 2) Important descriptive content is buried on interior pages rather than prominently featured on the index page; 3) Links, headings, and other design elements do not follow standard web conventions and are difficult to see. The critique provides detailed suggestions on how to address these and other issues to better communicate what Bridges does and engage site visitors.
Kathleen Wright outlines steps for effective collaboration. She defines collaboration as a group coming together with shared values to achieve a common goal, where everyone benefits in different ways by contributing their skills. Some benefits of collaboration include learning from others, accomplishing more through combined skills, and having fun working with a team. Her 9 steps for collaboration include: being an open collaborator, building a network, developing relationships, getting a team together around an idea, holding team meetings, follow up meetings, ongoing communication, and getting additional support. The overall document provides guidance on forming collaborative teams and partnerships.
The document introduces various Web 2.0 tools that can be used to support online teaching and learning, including social networks, blogs, wikis, podcasts, and content hosting/sharing sites. It provides examples of how these tools can be used for collaboration, communication, content creation and sharing, and building an online learning environment. Specific tools highlighted include YouTube, TeacherTube, Skype, Google Docs, Flickr, and widgets.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This is identity central and it is served on a daily basis with news, information, and
connections by our interns. What is most important about the connections is that they are
evolving and being tested with tools like Google Analytics to see who is using what and when

It is a powerful place to practice craft, to exercise one's voice, and to become deliberate
about what it means to be 'English-y'.

We really are making it up as we go within the constraints of our mission and of the tools that
we are accessing. Google + is helping us to establish ourselves as the beating heart of the
blog.
It is also part of what we hope will grow into a vibrant and empathic crew who all know the
score and who know that creating this community is at the core of that 'score'.

Hangouts on Air are part of our weekly prep meeting on Monday evenings.
1. Job roles are parsed. Everyone has a role as content provider and writer, but we also wear
at least one other hat-marketer, editor, community manager, webmaster, analytics analyst.
2. We divvy up posts for the week and talk long terms news and posts.
3. We share screens, goof around with google tools, create common docs as well as share
screens, bookmarks and tools.
4. And we record it all for absent members and for 'posterity'.

Lino is just a place to post story ideas and to claim work. It is where the editor lives during
the week. It is where others from outside the immediate community can suggest story ideas.
The workflow model is based on aJapanese productivity tool: the kanban.
Our digital corkboard is divided up into three columns:
READY DOING DONE
We put sticky notes in the 'Ready' column that indicate a potential post. If someone wants to
claim the story they put their initials on it and move it over to the "Doing" column. At any
point others may add info to the sticky note or even ask to collaborate with the original
author. One recent use was to develop a series of interview questions in a series we are

When the work is posted then the sticky pad moves to the 'Done' column. If anything gets to
crowded we have an overflow corkboard. You can peel off the done sticky pads but the site
remembers what has been done and archives it. Nothing is lost in this slow motion cascade of
activity.
Lino is free, but I purchased the pro version for just a few bucks a month and it is well worth
it.

One of our goals is to provide timely and newsworthy posts (Facebook and blog), tweets,
instagrams, and newsletters to our majors, pre, current and post.
We trumpeted Cornel West's recent lecture and then followed up with a retelling afterward.
We push writing workshops, classes, publishing opportunities, readings, and all matters
timely for English majors.

We are working toward each interns not only working on one-off posts, but also on longer
term, weekly or bi-weekly columns that highlight important identity markers for majors in
general and personally important ones for the interns as well.
One of our goals is for all interns to begin using their own blogs and to develop the skills and
motivations to pursue those blogs after their internships are over.
One of our goals is to get interns to promote their own work and the work of the blog in
public ways.
One of our goals is to help our interns develop digital rhetorical skills along with the ability to
manage their own WordPress blog.
Our overall goal is to get our interns to extend themselves, reach beyond their grasps, and to
then to use those skills and attitudes and mindsets in the world.

The internship is as handy as a pocket on a shirt. It serves our university community at the
same time that it serves the needs of each intern. That's the plan anyway. Harold Jarche
divides the work of learning and research into three words: Seek, sense, share. The English
Majors' Weblog makes that abstraction into a concrete whole every day. The deliberate
practice of 'seek-sense-share' applies the powerful skills that all English majors have acquired
in their discipline in an overt and regular way. That is the genius of a collective weblog. The
practice never stops and is always useful work worth doing.

At the end of our semester together, the collective blog will take stock of what has been
done, what has been left undone, and. most important. what is left to be done.
1. Create a style manual for the blog for future internship collectives.
2. Create an informal consultancy of current and former interns who can show others how to
use the same of similar 'tools loosely joined'.
3. Create marketing plans for specific segments and plans for expanding into areas that
serve the development needs of the department.
4. Create workshops or MOOCs for others who want to create their own collectives.
5. Create ebooks and other 'texts' to reflect on what they have done and where other might

Where will we go with this collective? We will connect in ways that we can only hint at right
now. Our audience is, potentially, a larger one than we envisioned when we first started the
internship several years ago. At first we wanted to work with the current majors in our
department. Now we know we have a mission to serve alums, major wannabees, pre-majors
(middle and secondary learners), minors, graduate students, and the ever widening ripple of
stakeholders who represent the rather large galaxy of folk known as English majors especially
alums and 'interested parties'.

None of this would have been achievable without the resources of the university, its blog
servers, its IT resources, its intern services and its institutional imperative to advance
knowledge and skills. Thanks to WKU.
