Jess’ E-Learning Blog

Suemin and I have had a short online discussion about the benefits and negatives of virtual worlds for learning in organisations… I just posted one more comment about it

But I’ve realised that we’ve been using blogging as a tool for learning, which had me really excited. Reading over our comments, I realised that we’ve created and published much more information than what was there when Suemin blogged the first time. Reading Suemins reply, I reflected and thought of some more ideas on the subject.

I think that this is really fantastic because it shows that blogging can be used to develop knowledge through dialogue between individuals. It is a very different way of developing knowledge from traditional face-to-face methods. Learning in this way is very organic, unstructured and directed only by the individuals who are engaging in the dialogue. I find this type of learning very intriguing and freeing.
