Web 2.0 in Higher Education


If you are interested in the principles and practices of using Web 2.0 for learning and teaching in higher education / work based learning you might wish to look at the following two publications:

Moteleb, A. & Durrant, A, (2009) ‘Using Web 2.0 technology in work based learning’, Proceedings of The 8th European Conference on e-Learning (ECEL 2009), University of Bari, Bari, Italy edited by Dr. Dan Remenyi. http://www.academic-conferences.org/ecel/ecel2009/ecel09-home.htm (2009) [pp. 391].

Bryant, P. Durrant, A. & Akinleye, A. (2012) Educating the Early Career Networked Arts Professional using a Hybrid Model of Work Based Learning in The Journal for Higher Education, Skills and Work-Based Learning. Emerald Publishing.

I can also highly recommend Stephen’s Web which has consistently high quality and up to date information and evaluation of the use of Web 2.0 for higher education:
