We have heard here and there claims and expectations about the so-called Learning 2.0 revolution. The rational is that learners will be able to share, collaborate, exchange in a more open and dynamic way, blowing the barriers that formal education and training may have raised on the way towards knowledge. Among learning 2.0 tools, there are blogs. All of us, I mean the practitioners of blogs, know that blogging is not such an easy thing and having the tools is not enough. So a paper like this one is especially interesting in that it explores in a pragmatic and rigorous way the students motivation or lack of motivation to use blogs ; among the latter there is a preference for direct communication and loss of privacy. May be not a surprise… a question one may have is that of knowing how far this is intrinsic or witnesses the weight of a culture and a lack of experience of these tools.
