• (in l. e.) WWW is habitually used to communicate, to share and to gather informations • a “web culture” exists side by side to a formal one in the university context • e-learning is considered to play an important role in university learning (but it’s also thought like not necessary one) 17/07/2009, Giessen – Emanuele Rapetti – NewMinELab – USI Lugano (CH) 14 Web as culture
