Bloggers Block: a philosophical argument

This post is being filed in a new category of ‘Under Construction’.  I have set myself a target of writing one blog post a week and, as the week is nearly over, I am posting this one now.  I want to think about why I find it difficult to blog, and this is what I am trying to discuss here.

This blog posting was inspired by a tweet from Michelle Franz (@lrndeveloper) this morning about MOOCs at universities.
