A Class blog is a blog that will typically be used by a tutor to facilitate one of the following scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Students are added to (or enrolled on) the Class blog and allowed to post to, or edit it. (Such a Class blog may have one or more Teachers and Students contributing content).
Scenario 2:
Each student has their own blog that they attach or 'join' to the Class blog. (In this case a Student will work on their own blog, not the Class blog).
