Blog, Wiki and Online Discussion Board

Hi, all.


There are 3 common types of text-based e-learning tools, namely the blog, wiki and online discussion board.  Although they seem similar, they have different uses.Blogs are used mainly for personal reflection. Wiki is used mainly for collaboration and online discussion board is used mainly for exchange of ideas and view.

Do take a look at the article The future of rational-critical debate in online public spheres  by Matthew D. Barton.  There is a section on the differences between the 3 elearning tools.

Edublog.org

Hi.

Do visit the Edublog.org. You can set up the blog here and visit other teachers' blog for some ideas. Most of the teachers are using the edublog to supplement their teaching (at E learning Level 2).
