Blog Can Be Used to Enhance Online Learning

Blog makes the study enjoyable for students. It can be used as an open discussion tool for students. Like traditional classroom study, blog can be used to exchange lecture notes, share thoughts and opinions, argument and group discussions. This is often more enjoyable and flexible for students than a face-to-face class. Internet and computer are so common these days that it should not be tough for anyone to get involve in an online discussion through Web Logs.

Blog is also an excellent interface to publish journal and article related to the study topic. It is much easier to get involved in group discussions through Web Logs (Blog) than through a traditional face-to-face class. User can post their audio/ video links, share an interesting journal or article or any other findings over the internet very easily through Web Log.

Users can learn about creating and maintaining their own websites, which is tough if someone tries to develop a website from the scratch. Blog has its own URL address, which works like a regular domain. Finally, I would say that blogging websites like blogger.com are becoming more efficient by allowing users to modify pretty much everything. Therefore, blog can be used as an online classroom where instructor will be able to post his or her notes, explain a topic if needed and students will be able to participate in group discussions, debate, presentations and even posting assignments as attachment.
