Publication Abstract

The use of blogs in education offers new ways to raise student performance. Some researchers, however, have shown that blogs fail to raise the attainment of particular learners. Students have different learning preferences, which may affect their perception of the usefulness of blogs. This paper, therefore, explores students’ perceptions of blogs and if they perceive them as effective tools for learning. Research is needed, therefore, into learner characteristics in order to tailor blog tools more specifically to raise individual performances.
