There are hundreds of online education journals, also known as e-journals. They address all aspects of education - both regular and online education. E-journals contain articles by professionals in education or amateurs working in the field. There are personal online journals, known as "blogs" (web logs), where students can post comments. These blogs are often assigned to online classes to be used as group journals on which all members post information.

Uses for Blogs in a University Online Course

(Source: Trimarco, R. (2004). "Use of Blogs in Online College Classes." B. Hoffman (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Educational Technology. January 7, 2007, at: http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/Articles/blogonlineclass/start.htm)

Blogs are used for:

* Professors to post assignments, class requirements, information, lessons, answer questions from students, and post a weekly topic for students to comment on.

* Professors and students to post articles related to the class and others respond.

* Classes to hold discussions about lectures, assigned reading, news, and projects.

* Students to post completed assignments and notes and give others feedback.

* Students to create writing portfolios.

General Uses For Blogs

Personal online journals are also used to create a forum for bloggers on which to post their opinions, review books or other sites, or upload articles. Remember that work posted on such sites may be copied and used by others illegally. It's not ethical to use others' blogs or posted material as your own, unless you quote it and cite the source or paraphrase it and cite the source.
