Abstract:
Using weblogs (or blogs) for courses, as an enhancement to the traditional class or for a fully online course, is becoming more and more important and popular. In this paper, we describe the technology behind weblogs, we present the basic functionality of weblogs, and we discuss the different roles weblogs can play in teaching and learning: instructor blogs and student blogs. From the instructor's point of view, a blog can be used to share knowledge, to provide instructions for students (course announcements, tips, and resources), to publish a list of annotated links, and to review and check students' work. From the student's point of view, a blog can be used as a group work tool, to share course related resources, and to submit assignments and home work. Blogs can help to change the academic discourse and to achieve a real student centered learning. Finally, we also present some case studies of use of weblog.
