Abstract
The use of new collaborative learning tools at the university is an opportunity to update teaching. In recent years educational blogs have been present as a facilitator of autonomous learning. In the subject “Research in Social Welfare Systems” of the Degree in Social Work of the University of Valencia (UV), a group blog has been co-designed with the aim of promoting communication and collaborative learning between students and teachers. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed among the students enrolled in the aforementioned subject, allowing us to know their previous experience and knowledge of educational blogs, as well as their preferences regarding contents and potential uses of the tool. An exploratory questionnaire was also distributed among teachers of the Faculty of Social Sciences with the aim of knowing the potential uses of blogs in university teaching. The results show that the students perceived the use of the blog as a facilitator of collaborative and participatory learning. And teachers considered the blog tool a facilitator of teaching practice with multiple utilities highlighting, especially the possibility of working with students and exchanging information. In conclusion, the blog tool can facilitate teacher coordination and horizontal communication with students, encouraging their active participation and updating teaching.
