Practical experience in teaching inventory management with Edublogs
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of
this paper is to analyze the utility of edublogs in teaching-learning process
applied to postgraduate Courses. Particularly, it describes an experience
carried out while delivering a Course offered to students, mainly Industrial
Engineers, of a certain Master program.
Design/methodology/approach: In the first section of the paper, we
perform a literature review with the aim of defining some basic concepts as
blog, weblog or edublog. Later on, we compare some educational models to
identify best practices related to new technologies, and particularly, to
edublogs. Finally, we analyze our experience in a postgraduate Course.
Findings and Originality/value: We have identified best practices on
teaching using edublogs and we have applied them to a particular postgraduate
Course.
Research limitations/implications: Conclusions are obtained from only one
experience (one postgraduate Course). We intend to extend the analysis to more
postgraduate Courses and compare the obtained results.
Practical implications: We have applied the previously described
methodology and we have discussed advantages and disadvantages of using
edublogs.
Originality/value: We have compiled a wide list of best practices on
teaching using new technologies and in particular edublogs. We have also
evaluated the experience qualitatively according to such best practices and
drawn conclusions that will improve the process.
