Web 2.0 in nutshell

• Web 2.0: back to the beginning of the Web

• Read-only WWW >> Read-write WWW

• Personal publishing of thoughts, moments, experiences (blogs, Wikis, Flickr, YouTube)

• Distributed architecture creates new problems that are solved by tagging, social recommendation systems (Del.icio.us, Furl), RSS aggregators (Technorati), syndication of content, interoperability of tools

Web 2.0: SOCIAL software

• Information technology >> Interaction technology

• From consumer to co-author: Web 2.0 helps involving clients in design, testing, marketing

• Culture of sharing and re-mixing

• On half-way from buzzword to normal practice

Collaborative sense-making• Another Web 2.0: Semantic Web

• Hard ontology vs. soft ontology

• Example: iCampFolio

• Affordance: we perceive objects in terms of the possibilities for action they offer, or afford, us

• Activity structure: digital schema-based representation of activity, relates it to people, tools, artefacts and events (activity patterns)

• Unified Activity Management framework by IBM: people select the tools they like for activities

Web 2.0 and knowledge management in our university

• E-learning environment IVA: www.htk.tlu.ee/iva

• E-portfolio: eportfoolio.opetaja.ee

• LeMill.net: learning object authoring tool

• TATS: test authoring and conduction service

• iCamp Space: distributed learning environment consisting of Web 2.0 tools

• Taggin Tallinn: mobile tourist guide and community building environment
