SESSION TOPIC DESCRIPTIONS
Web 2.0 Meets Learning! Learning 2.0: Moving Learning to the Next Level
Web 2.0 technologies enable rapid knowledge content creation by not just having a one-directional information flow from the instructional designer or trainer to the learner. There is a big push now to get the participation from all the knowledge-workers and stakeholders – a community based learning and knowledge management environment. You tap into the intelligence and expertise of practitioners “in the field” to get the best possible answers and solutions rather than a top down information flow with a limited point of view. You give the users tools to quickly capture, share their knowledge, and have a conversation. You make that knowledge searchable. Search engines and technologies are becoming part of both the creation and deployment of knowledge content. Also, Web 2.0 technologies allow you to integrate through the use of web services like what is now called mashups. These technologies allow the information to be linked with business processes more easily. Now you have a much more rapid content creation, dissemination, and more importantly, contextualization. The consumer-oriented Internet applications and social networking technologies like calendar, photos, video, contact sharing, blogging, and wikis are now beginning to enter enterprise learning and knowledge management.
