Blog vs Blogpost

The terms used to describe the community blog posts is a bit confusing.  Communities can publish a 'blog', which can be commented upon much like a typical blog-post in conventional blog engines. A blog in the conventional sense is composed up of multiple posts... but in CHEC-CESC the community can only publish a blog, that has no subtopics (only comments) below. 

Would it be more consistent to say that a community publishes Posts?  The Community Blog Page, where all the submissions are displayed, then makes sense as the collection of posts, and comments.

Exploring the Learning Community

The CHEC-CESC website is worth exploring further, considering its capacity to house extended communities of practice that span the various medical schools.  I've not had success in facilitating discussions among the Portfolio or Curriculum Mapping groups, but there is more that can be done there.  Applying some CoP principles.

A start.
