This review focuses on the use of Web 2.0 tools in Higher Education. It provides a
synthesis of the research literature in the field and a series of illustrative examples
of how these tools are being used in learning and teaching. It draws out the perceived
benefits that these new technologies appear to offer, and highlights some of the challenges
and issues surrounding their use. The review forms the basis for a HE Academy funded
project, ‘Peals in the Cloud’, which is exploring how Web 2.0 tools can be used to
support evidence-based practices in learning and teaching. The project has also produced
two in-depth case studies, which are reported elsewhere (Galley et al., 2010, Alevizou
et al., 2010). The case studies focus on evaluation of a recently developed site for
learning and teaching, Cloudworks, which harnesses Web 2.0 functionality to facilitate
the sharing and discussion of educational practice. The case studies aim to explore
to what extent the Web 2.0 affordances of the site are successfully promoting the
sharing of ideas, as well as scholarly reflections, on learning and teaching. |
