assessing weblog writing

Kairosnews.org has yet a contribution in the discussion of weblogs as a medium in teaching writing. This post has some good thoughts on how to assess weblogs in writing courses, and whether to set up criteria for posting and commenting.
The author of th post is against defining criteria for weblog writing – but in my opinion he confuses teaching writing in a broad perspective and teaching writing in relation to weblogs. To me, it all depends on the intention of using weblogs as a teaching tool is; what students learn from using weblogs surely can be affected by defining criteria in regard to the actual weblog.
