The idea of using a blog for summative assessment is welcome, as a blog can be accessed at any time and from any place with an Internet access. There is no wasting paper and no possibility of losing your log in paper format or electronic format (i.e. memory stick).
E-learning is a rapid, effective and less expensive form of training and development. (Schutte, 1996; Karon, 2000). Awareness in the e-learning field should be maintained and lecturers should respond to the changing environment and new opportunities. I believe a web-blog works well in that it engages students in considering their objectives for each session and I am considering using this assessment technique in the future.
“E-learning could become the major form of training and development in organizations as technologies will improve to create a fully interactive and humanized learning environment.” (Wentling, 2000, p 2)
