Knowledge, Learning, Community
Sbout what you would expect from the title, with a good summary of web 2.0 learning environments as defined in the literature along with an example implemented in MediaWiki with connections to external resources executed using Yahoo Pipes. The article then goes on to describe the types of learning that took place in the environment and the roles of students and instructors, with examples. The authors then discuss evaluation, especially as it addresses workload ("only those system components should be integrated for which the contents are graded for assessment") and conclude "the use of Web 2.0 tools does not only contribute to building up necessary knowledge autonomously in terms of content, but users also train the media and information competencies required for working with the respective tools."
