In other words, blogs have been seldom applied in-class, although they are good tools as digital journal while the class is not in session. In the fall semester of 2006, students of two undergraduate classes, namely Java Programming Language and Programming for Internet Applications, were used as subjects to solicit feedback to the use of blog in the context of social learning. A control group study uses a control group to compare to an experimental group in a test of a causal hypothesis. Survey results shows that students who took the lab courses are satisfied with turning in lab results through blog posting, getting instructor's in-class interactions, piracy reduction, and social learning.
