Los blogs de grupo como herramienta de aprendizaje colaborativo en el aula de ELE

Abstract

This study reports the attitudes of students of Spanish as a foreign language at Reykjavík University towards the use of weblogs in the classroom as a learning and evaluation tool in an university level course. It presents results obtained from a questionnaire distributed at the end of the course to know students opinions and perceptions after creating collectively a class blog during spring semester 2009. This study also addresses if the level of accuracy these students achieve is related to the fact that their comments and thoughts can be read and shared with other students. Finally; a consideration is offered about weblogs as a collaborative asincronic tool; providing autonomy to the student´s learning process.
