UoB Easter School - web 2.0 and learning environments | PPT
Web 2.0: what is it good for? (Absolutely nothing?) University of Bristol Easter School, 2009

My words
My pictures
My video
My opinions
My friends
My colleagues
My every waking thought
My files and software
What are we talking about? Web 2.0 is… My photos, blog posts, videos, etc Comments and reviews Socialising Describing your social network Audio, video and interactive content Software online (cloud computing) Collaboration Increasingly, the web = Web 2.0 (= Facebook)
Why might we use these tools in education? Participation is engaging Everybody’s there anyway Work as a distributed group Any computer is my computer Access to a wider audience … …  and to everyone else’s data Network effects It’s free … …  and better than institutional services
What are the issues? Time and effort vs pay-off (for participants and for set-up and support) Web 2.0 => peer learning => less contact time? Sustainability IPR, privacy, data protection Not everyone’s there already … …  and if they are, why crash the party? Convincing uses are often personal study, group working and distance learning.
