3) Affecting the Students’ Quality of Writing
The quality of writing is manifested in several ways. Some students who study English state that they are always aware of their audience, and, as a result, write with their audience in mind. They don’t know whether they are right or wrong. The permanent nature of publishing online encourages students to pay more attention to the content and language in their blogs. And the feedback received from the various sources as well as the different types, critical and non-critical; also affects the quality of their writing.
The students also enhance the quality of their writing by adding visual representation to their blogs. This helps to clarify concepts for the reader. Visual literacy, visual thinking, and visual learning are concepts related to the purpose of Constructing Meaning. Multimedia research shows that students with visual learning styles can benefit from technology with a multimedia format. In other words, adding visual associations to their blogs helps the students express their points of views.
