eLearn: Case Studies - Threading, Tagging, and Higher-Order Thinking
Most Web 2.0 applications possess a number of inherent characteristics that make them more intuitive learning tools, more suited to the promotion of higher-order learning than stand-alone applications, such as word processing software, and older "1.0" uses of the Internet, such as Web sites and even email.\n\n1: Web 2.0 tools are dynamic. Users can constantly update and refresh their own content as well as that of others. \n2: Web 2.0 tools possess some degree of interactivity. \n3: Web 2.0 applications are easy to use. (This isn't uniformly true. Arguably, a Web 2.0 application such as Google Earth is fairly complex.) For the most part, interfaces are simple so they're easy for technology novices to learn. \n4: Web 2.0 tools can diversify and broaden traditional online structures of communication in ways that non-Web 2.0 applications may not. \n5: designed for purposes of communication and collaboration, Web 2.0 applications can connect individuals to and within a larger learning community.
