This document discusses using blogs as an e-learning tool. It presents blogging as part of a paradigm shift towards student-centered, active, and lifelong learning. Blogs and other new media tools like bookmarking, file sharing, asking questions, and real-time chat allow for 24/7 seamless e-learning. These tools can be used for class material management, assignments, discussions, and two-way communication between instructors and students. Using blogs and other e-learning tools shifts the focus from instructors to students and allows class time to be spent on pedagogy rather than administrative tasks. Implementing these tools can foster learning both within a university and for lifelong learning purposes.
