Why Blogs Can Be Used To Create Memorable Learning Experiences
Maish Nichani outlines in easy to read short essay the quality of weblogs when utilized in training scenarios. He specifically points to three virtues of blogs: 1) personal point of view, 2) chronological nature and 3) byte-sized posts. "Together, these three attributes help create experiences that are both engaging and memorable.The informal and engaging attributes of the weblog format can be used even in the light of tightly scheduled and highly focused training situations. The simple alternatives outlined in this paper can liberate us from the tyranny of product-oriented delivery and help us build continuous, engaging and memorable learning experiences."
