One of the key functions of college teachers in an educational setting is knowledge management. Weblogs could be used as a knowledge base to efficiently support student learning. It can provide students access to relevant information that provides them guidance to resolve common issues that are likely to occur as they do their project assignments. In this research, a Weblog was used as an additional communication channel between students and instructor for an information systems course. Feedback from the students enrolled in the class and analysis of usage data collected from the Weblog provides evidence that it can be an effective tool for teaching information systems courses.
