This document discusses the shift from the traditional view of knowledge as something passed from teachers to students, to a more collaborative view of knowledge creation. It outlines several Web 2.0 tools that support collaboration, including social networks, blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, social tagging, and podcasting. Examples of educational uses of these tools are provided, such as using blogs for student reflections or assignment submissions, wikis for group projects, and podcasts for sharing lecture recordings. Key trends in higher education adoption of these technologies over the next 5 years are also highlighted.
Web 2.0 refers to the Read/Write web, which allows users to create and share content online through social media tools. These tools include blogs for personal publishing, wikis for collaborative writing, podcasts for audio shows, social bookmarking to manage bookmarks and discover new sites, and RSS feeds to track updated content. Educators should understand how these new capabilities allow students to connect, share ideas, and collaborate beyond the classroom. Research shows that many students are active online content creators, spending significant time using various media platforms each day, demonstrating the potential for media to impact their lives.
