STUDENTS ACTUALLY LEARN MORE EFFECTIVE FROM THE BLOG THAN FROM TRADITIONAL MATERIAL

STUDENTS ACTUALLY LEARN MORE EFFECTIVE FROM THE BLOG THAN FROM TRADITIONAL MATERIAL:
           
      The most important aspects of the Blogs are its educational nature. That is, will students actually learn more effectively from the Blog. The following factors were considered and taken care of for designing the Blog.
  • Review the Entire Course :
                        Instead of creating a Blog for a specific topic, it might be beneficial to critically review the entire unit or course. There are number of innovative techniques that can be used, and blog is one of these. Some examples are guided self-study, the use of presentation tools, gaming tools, and replaying tutorials with a case study approach. By reviewing the particular topic the investigator identified that the presentation approach i.e, the presentation of the topic in an blog best suited.

  • Appeal :
                        Simply presenting information in a clear and logical way is not enough. The information has to be presented in an attractive way. Like an attractive and successful advertisement, the programme should pique the user’s curiosity and imagination and lure them into the content. Even the dullest and difficult information can be rejuvenated by clever use of examples, interactivity, graphic design, animations, sound etc.

  • Flexibility:
                        Most computer programmes are written to solve a particular programme on a particular machine. The development of blog can be reused in some other but similar or unsimilar situations. The examples that are used animation or pictures for she same might be able to use by some other. The present blog has been designed and developed with the needed flexibility keeping this crucial factor in mind.

  • Modularity:
                        It means splitting the topic into modularity or independent parts for convenience. The modules can be presented in similar other blogs. Such an idea helps the investigator to ease the development task greatly.
