Blogs can easily be used for discussion and debate.
Either through comments, or via posts + comments on indiviudual blogs (your very own institutional blogosphere) along with trackbacks and pings!
Below is a brief example of how users, with their own Campus avatars (these can be simply customized by individual users), can have a discussion via comments.
And the question is… why is Edublogs Campus such a great solution for your institution?

Well, as an administrator you can manage and monitor all the blogs that your stdents and staff are using.
Which allows you to help them, and make sure you avoid any issues that might fall outside your control.

And you don’t need to worry about students signing up at other sites – you can simply create blogs and usernames for them via the system.
Any password issues? All you need to do is reste them yourself.
Any new blogs required? All you need to do is create a new one… it’ll take you all of 15 seconds!
Anything you can’t do? Not much really

And you can set these fun avatars – or more sophisticated ones – or ones that your users can simply upload.
Just login here: http://universityofblogs.com/discussionanddebate/wp-admin/options-discussion.php
Username: admin
Password: pass
And scroll down to change the avatars that appear.
