Strengths - Blogging enables students to interact with subject matter at their own pace and it allows them to regulate their material. As a reflective tool it allows the student to see their knowledge change and grow over time.
Weaknesses - It would be important to structure the material that you desire students to use, as bloggers can easily become distracted and go off topic.
Opportunities - Being able to ascertain student strengths and weaknesses without having to use formal assessment types. Improvement of text communication and written language.
Threats - Open to the public and privacy issues could be a concern.
