Feature Request: New Activity Type - "Journals/Weblogs"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Current activity types appear to be variants of multiple choice.  This is 
restrictive, repetitive and boring if overused. In addition, these 
automatically-marked forms of activity are performed in isolation by students, 
and do not take advantage of the internet's inherent "connectedness" to provide 
opportunities for students to exchange ideas and communicate in ways that 
enhance their learning experience.

In the "Journal" activity type, students would submit the location of a 
Blogger/Wordpress Blog where they would keep a running journal or diary (e.g. 
of their learning, of a process/project, or of their independent research in a 
relevant body of knowledge).  Other students would be able to automatically 
review and comment on entries in each others blogs.  This feature would help 
"connect" users' blogs to encourage and enhance peer activity for social 
learning.
