Judith Christian-Carter
What I propose to talk about
• Web 2.0 / e-Learning 2.0 / Learning 2.0
• What it means in practice
• What it means for individuals
• What it means for organisations
• What it means for instructional designers
• Formalisation – how much

It takes 2!
• A platform to create, upload and share content with others (Web 2.0)
• The rip, mix and feed brigade
• Blogs, Wikis, Social Networks, Podcasts(?)
• Web 2.0 tools & applications used to support informal learning

2.0 is happening right now
• Previous presentations
• Happening without you even knowing about it
• Some organisations and educational institutions have ‘formalised’ provision– use of Web 2.0 technologies– allowing people to rip, mix and feed

Individual learners
• Who are these?
• ‘Veterans’ – ‘Baby Boomers’ – ‘Generation X’ – ‘Generation Y’?
• Stereotypes – helpful or not?
• What about ‘silver surfers’?

Formalisation

A time and place for everything
• Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water – but provide a few more ‘toys’
• Learner support tools which are not compulsory
• Need to remember that most adult learning is contextual if it is to be effective

A new face?
• Drivers – us and users
• Social learning – facilitates that process
• Generational thing or not?
• Currently a lot of hype but how much substance?
• How new?
