A few notes from Web 2.0 and LMS
Topics of web 2.0
- Push content to the world â?? Many are using web 2.0 to do this.
- Remix Pedagogies â?? (accomplishing the synthesis tasks of bloomâ??s taxonomy)
- Folksonomy â?? Social Research, Communal Reading List, Topic Keywords,
Where do web 2.0 and lms meet? - Do they?
- LMS = web 1.0
- How does LMS play out in a Web 2.0 of microcontent â??
- Syllabus, assignments, etc.. are examples of microcontent for a course
- Social â?? LMS community is limited
- Web 2.0 has many elements that are closed which brings it closer to LMS
- Web 2.0 tools are being incorporated into LMS
- Blackboard has announced that they are moving toward hooks for web 2.0
- Mashups â?? LMS and Facebookâ?¦
- At one end of the spectrum people are using Web 2.0 as an LMS. Netvibes is an example.
Webs 1.0 and 3.0
- Webs 1.0 is static webpages
- Google Sites â?? easiest web authoring tool for static authoring page
- Google Knol â?? new expert content in non wiki form
Semantic Web = Web 3.0 = Not one idea = Social Graph
- Content is marked up with tags
- Content become more easily leveraged with advanced searching
- ClearForest Gnosis, FF plugin â??
- 3d web browsers
- The mobile web â?? Kindle, Google Phone, iPhone, Microtops.
Perhaps web 3.0 is not as game changing as Web 2.0 was perhaps it is only web 2.1 as web 2.0 is

Next Stepper Community – college planning and student life forum – Next Step Magazine
My friend is an admissions advior for nextSTEP. I am pretty impressed by the level of social networking that they incorporate into their connections with students in the college search process. The company makes decisions on which technologies to implement/incorporte based on their student advisory board.
