Abstract
This paper reports the design and use of blogging software in laboratory management to support weekly seminars, in which activity reports are an important resource for checking participants’ research activity. The software has three basic functions to support seminars: a report editing, comment, and chat. In order to support knowledge management, we added an evaluation function corresponding to each seminar report and a To-Do-List function to support driven objects as sub-goals. The blogging system was installed in a laboratory seminar, in which a teacher, a doctoral student, and seven students pursuing their master's degree participated over the course of five months. Results show that seminars conducted using the blogging software were evaluated more highly than paper-based seminars. However, only a few participants used the comment function, and the chat function was minimally used.
