This was a presentation based on a literature review I did for one of my doctoral classes in Higher Education at Boston College. It provides an overview of the concepts and the literature surrounding Web 2.0, theory, and college student learning.
12. The term "Web 2.0" (2004–present) is
commonly associated with web
applications that facilitate interactive
information sharing, interoperability,
user-centered design, and collaboration
on the World Wide Web. Examples of Web
2.0 include web-based communities,
hosted services, web applications,
social-networking sites, video-sharing
sites, wikis, blogs, mashups, and
folksonomies. A Web 2.0 site allows its
users to interact with other users or to
change website content, in contrast to
non-interactive websites where users are
limited to the passive viewing of
information that is provided to them.
