Education 2.0? Designing the web for teaching and learning
The Teaching and Learning Research Programme TLRP has just published its commentary on education and Web 2.0 technologies Education 2.0? Designing the web for teaching and learning.
Despite valuable early contributions to the web 2.0, much of the discussion within the education community has been speculative. This Commentary sets out to challenge the confident portrayal of web 2.0 by many educationalists in terms of an imminent transformation of learning and teaching. Careful thought has therefore been given to how technologists, educators and learners can best shape the fast-changing internet in the near future. It aims to explore how education can change the web, as well as how the web can change education.
“Web 2.0 is a reality. Education 2.0 is an aspiration. I hope this Commentary will play its part in transforming the web into a technology that can shape a radically new vision of teaching and learning in the 21st century” Richard Noss, Director, TLRP-TEL. London Knowledge Lab. University of London.
