E-learning
The new way: Web 2.0
Workshop at NIASA, Pune
Objective Summary
With the advent of PCs and internet and its ubiquity, we spend our quality time searching, mailing, browsing and downloading. Look closely, Internet is much beyond all these activities we have been performing. Didn’t get it? Now peep into some student’s computer screen and don’t be surprised if he is found ‘wasting‘ his time on Orkut. Another student you will find has just finished commenting on someone’s Blog. Right, you guessed it. There has been phenomenal rise in the users of social networking websites (orkut, facebook etc.), blogs, forums, Wikis because these websites allow much more than browsing and just downloading the information. What’s unique with the Internet today? Today Internet allows equal participation by the user by means of discussions, comments, editing and posting of information. That’s the difference between being online and going online.
