The only self-publishing applications I am familiar with are blogs and wikis. The only time I have used these applications is in this subject and also E-learning Experiences last semester. While using blogs made it easier to complete activites and complete assignments, I don’t really think it impacted on my actual learning that much. Initially, it made my learning experience more difficult, learning how to use a new technology and then having to regularly check, monitor and manage it. With this subject, I have had lots of technical problems with the blog and I just don’t believe it has positively impacted my learning in anyway. The group E-Learning wiki has also proved troublesome to me, though it did make it easy to submit the first assignment. I am not convinced self publishing is the way to go for me, but understand the concept and proposed benefits of it!
