Abstract

Online communication is changing the way instructors and learners interact and learn. Today, apart from providing an information repository or a place to search for resources, the new Web 2.0 allows us to find other people, exchange ideas and thoughts, demonstrate creativity and create new knowledge. Based on Web 2.0, e-learning 2.0 has evolved to provide a constructivist learning environment. In this paper, Web 2.0 applications, such as wikis, social bookmarking and podcasts, are reviewed on how they can provide a rich, interactive, user-friendly application platform effectively. The platform would allow teachers and trainers to empower learners and create exciting new learning opportunities. It is more desirable if Web 2.0 technologies can be well integrated into traditional e-learning platforms such as WebCT and blackboard.
