The Social Web (Web 2.0) allows for personal customization, user-created content like blogs, wikis and social bookmarking, and sharing content with others socially. It opens up new possibilities for supporting pedagogies like social constructivism and distributed learning. Institutions must consider policies around intellectual property, ownership, accessibility, security, preservation and hosting as the Social Web becomes integrated into learning and teaching.
