What is Web 2.0

In studying and/or promoting web-technology, the phrase Web 2.0 can refer to a trend in web design and development — a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services (such as social-networking sites, wikis, and blogs) which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing among users. The term gained currency following the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs.

“We are already well down the path to whatsome call a “Web2.0 world.”

“Employers are telling us that what they want is active, hands-on, authentic learning

pedagogies that actually are more aligned with what we know about learning and good

practices than much of what happens in our educational

institutions currently upholding ivory tower values.”- Gary Brown, The future of Web 2.0 (see handout)
