Schome discussions / Re: Learning through Web 2.0: what are Web 2.0 technologies?

« on: September 11, 2008, 09:32:04 AM »

I have attached a table from Trinder et.al. (2008) on typology of web 2.0 technologies.
Are there others which are not in this table?

One of the points made by Trinder et.al. is that students (and teachers) have a lot of expertise in using these technologies for social networking, or buying and selling, but are inexperienced in applying them to learning/academic contexts. 
What do others think?

I am a member of the OU team developing a course on Learning Through Web 2.0 (see Education: Projects).
I'm just starting to navigate my way around the wiki and hope to add some documents to the project site soon, like the one attached here on typology of web 2.0 technology.
