Each Campus Blog doubles up as the online campus newsletter and notice board. It also provides a platform for students to show case their talent.

Every partnering campus will be provided with a customized blog Content management system.  It will be hosted with unlimited server space. A domain name chosen by the campus will be registered. Administrator login for the content management system will be provided to a campus representative.

The campus blog administrator, preferably a teacher can provide as many author logins to the students. He can screen the content as well. Teachers also can blog regularly about the subjects they teach or any other topic of their choice. A campus blog can publish

  • Campus News
  • Campus Event Schedules
  • Campus Notifications
  • Student Articles
  • Poems/art work
  • Campus photos and videos
  • Study Materials
  • Student projects
  • Local News

Any content that is relevant to the campus or useful to the students can be published in a campus blog.
