This past week Richard MacManus at Read/Write Web put together e-learning 2.0: All You Need To Know, a comprehensive overview of web 2.0 technologies that have been applied to e-learning. Read/Write Web contributor Josh Catone followed up with Web 2.0 Backpack: Web Apps for Students, a thorough rundown of web-based apps - many free or low-cost - that provide a significant proportion of the functionality that students and faculty regularly pay more for from traditional software vendors like Microsoft and Adobe. Web 2.0 apps don’t just mimic the traditional apps, though; they often add innovative capabilities such as real-time collaboration that aren’t available in traditional software packages. For the student (and faculty member) looking to make FHSU’s Mobile Learning environment mesh with our “Affordable Success” slogan these Web 2.0 apps are worth serious consideration.
