    Although this is an acceptable research topic, I wonder how much research has in fact been done regarding the information seeking behaviour of a specific subset of students at UWC. Have you checked? If there is ample research, it is possible for students to trace the development and change that has taken place over the years and create a literature review....
    Be specific in your instructions: What must students do with the blog that has been created? Where should this blog be created? iKamva or an external platform?With whom should students communicate on the blog?

  2. Hi Gerald

    Try to relate your activities directly to the topic. For example: Discuss your findings on a blog ...OR discuss your findings in a scholarly wiki that focuses on information retrieval behaviour. I do like your ideas though.
    I see 2 Knowledge practices only.
