Learning Success of our Blogs
ligi kodiyat, 21:12h
The learn blogs, no actually blogging itself was a completely new experience for me...
i thoroughly enjoyed designing the page and enhancing the look….the blogs themselves were also really useful for refreshing the material and they would have also been a very good learning base for an exam…especially with the links to the internet and the access to the blogs of the other students…
but I have to also admit that they were quite time consuming….sometimes it was also done in a rush right before 14:00 on Thursdays because they are a part of the credit!!!
DILEMMA
should the blog be obligatory? I think without it being obligatory we all wouldn’t not have been so efficient about our blog entries…..but then again if a person is actually a very disciplined type then instead of writing a summary in a book he could just use the blog…..and will evey person share his blog with all the other students?
FAZIT
· Very good exercise which helps to learn how to use the tool
· Very good for refreshing the material
· Time consuming
· Would it work if it weren’t obligatory?
in the end i would like to say that i am really glad that i took this course because i was not only introduced to very interesting topics, i was also given the chance to actively use the tools. so in the future i will be able to use it!!!
i will be staying here in SG and starting the masters in october....so nothing interesting to start a blog yet...but i am looking forward to hearing from all of u who r planning to travel around...do post ur new blog adresses on our learning blog!!!
!!!!ENJOY AND ALL THE BEST!!!!

Will be considered
Dear Ligi,
I appreciate your feedback. I also doubt whether the learnblog would "work" if it was not obligatory. Definitely tools like these widen the "digital divide". The good and motivated learners get even better, because they see the potential and use it, the learnes who really need "enforced" training as they lack these self competencies loose and the gap between these groups gets wider and wider. The best certainly would be to have at least to different styles of learninig offerings: one for the "elite" and one for the normal learner. I wish to find ways to do that in our current structures.
