Abstract
The aim of this paper is to identify the current perceptions and attitudes of learners in higher education toward the use of blog tools. A qualitative questionnaire, interview and, observation were used to collect data before and after the study in order to measure any differences that may have occurred. Although the learners' attitudes were mixed, it was possible to compare and contrast them pre and post study. Before the study most of their responses focused on their positive expectations of the blog. It was something they wished to gain despite their lack of knowledge of blog services. The issues, the learners considered were those that could affect their attitudes, i.e. 'Skills' and the 'Beneficial'. The attitudes of the learners after the implementation of the blog were mostly positive but in two conceptually different ways. Firstly, there was a positive attitude toward the acceptance and utilization of blogs but with certain conditions. Secondly, there was a positive attitude supported by a justification. Generally, 'features of blogs' and 'communications' were the important factors that could affect learners' attitudes but the main issue considered by the learners was the interactivity between participants.
