Lastly, Web 2.0 technologies are a wonderful resource to help with content creation. Web 2.0 technologies are the newly emerging online technologies that allow people to directly collaborate, create and share content over the Internet. Examples of Web 2.0 technologies include blogs, wikis, YouTube, and FaceBook. Web 2.0 technologies are designed so that anyone with basic computer skills can actively engage in online learning and content creation.
As you design your online content, remember these Web 2.0 technologies and consider ways you might embed them into more traditional online content. For example, you could add a wiki or a blog (or both!) to your online classroom on Blackboard and ask students to create content for that part of the online course.
Please see the Technology module for more information on Web 2.0 technologies and how they can be effectively used in online learning.
