Title
Motivational Effect of Peer Review in Blog-Based Activities.
Abstract
Use of blogging activities in university courses has been showed to improve the primary learning outcomes while additionally reinforcing important professional communication skills. In order to fully use the potential of blogging lack of students' motivation to fully engage in the process may pose a major obstacle. It is not sufficient just to publish a few blog articles; instead, following the classmates' blogs and active participation in the discussions is vital to achieve desired results. In this paper we show that incorporating well organized peer review rounds into the process significantly increased students' participation, and in addition the benefits of such an exercise were perceived positively by the students.
