E-Learning Through Blogs

Published Tuesday, December 2, 2008 by bloggerblognet22596 | E-mail this post

E-learning means learning through the internet. It is also known as online or electronic learning. The courses which provide such type of learning are known as e-learning courses, like 'e-MBA'. To take advantage of these courses, you must be familiar with the net and its technologies like web browsing, e-mails, blogs, voice chat, text chat, web 2.0, wikis, RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds and video conferencing.

I will show you how blogs can help you in getting all the assistance you need to successfully complete your online course.

If you are reading this article, then you already know about web browsing and e-mails. So I will not discuss on these two topics. A blog is an online diary in which people write about their day to day experiences. It is also known as the web log and is used to write articles on a particular topic like cars. It looks just like a normal web page. All popular web logs are topic based and can be on virtually any topic you can think of. Examples include: cars, bikes, e-learning, interactive whiteboards, celebrities, search engine optimization, internet marketing, MBA, electronic products, home appliances, science, travel, events, mathematics, physics, politics, employment, companies, industries etc.

To develop a blog, you need only two things: content and a host. You can develop content in a word processor like MS Word and then upload the content to a host. A host is a website which host your web log on its server so that anybody on the net can read it. The majority of such websites provide a free hosting facility in lieu of ads on your web logs, like http://www.blogger.com There are some websites which charge a nominal fee for such type of services.

Through blog sites you can even change the formatting of your page, add your favorite links, upload your picture and allow or disallow comments from your readers. You can search for blogs, (topic wise or category wise) either on the host site or in an online directory. So next time you need help on a particular topic like MBA, you know where you should go and what you should do.
