Abstract

In recent years, blogs are widely used in many Web applications to easily share information between individuals or to effectively promote products in business marketing. In this paper we propose a novel notion of blog agents to easily exploit blogs in educational applications. We first investigate problems of current educational blogs. We then explain how we can solve those problems by using the blog agents. We also show that, if exploiting the blog agents, we can easily design the blogs for homework or consultation management. Using XML-based RSS (Really Simple Syndication) we finally implement RSS-based blog agents for the homework or consultation management blogs. We believe that our RSS-based blog agents will be widely used in many educational applications.
