Description: The Blogging Skills Course aims to build information gathering and way-making skills for online lifelong learners within an ELGG platform. It encourages participants to interact with one another to cooperatively build resources such as blog posts, bookmarks, galleries, and web pages. The focus of this course will be on using the blogging tool.
The participants will commit to reciprocal sharing, in which all participants engaging and reflecting on their own are actively gathering resources, commenting on their own and others’ resources, revising resources based on feedback from various sources, and in turn sharing their own resources with others.
This blogging skills course will ask participants to engage in cooperative knowledge-building, gradually building up a tightly interwoven network of personal learning resource summaries that include annotations on resources, comments, meta-narratives and reflections, and multiple revisions and updates.
