2. E2C pilot experience 2 months experimentation
gathering impressions
recommendation of the young adults
Launched workshop on the blog tool
open theme
open content
2nd Workshop on the blog tool functionalities
wrote blog entries
comments
Few guidelines and little advice given

3. Student Feedback on the pilot
Positive
Negative
I can express myself myself and share my ideas – I could give my opinion
No computer at home (50%)
On line diary
Uploading files (images, sound...) was too slow
See what others think
If no comments – drop in motivation
Discover things about me and my friends
Difficult to personalise the tool
Blog comments – allow you to reflect and give your ideas
Difficult to make the blog known

4. Recommendations
1. Create a platform « Blog E2C » to centralise the students blogs
2. Have several pre-defined categories in each blog such as:
My Life story
My hobbies
My professional experience
My future plans and projects
Private space with password
Document archive in the private space
3. To have a collective blog around a specific theme
4. To have a training session on the blog tool before starting the pilot
5. To have a E2C blog to present the blog platform
