Education 2.0, eLearning 2.0 ...
... obviously Microlearning and Microknowledge are closely related to the so-called Web 2.0, based on microcontent. Richard McManus writes here about the impact of Web 2.0 on education:
"Take a look at what the education community is doing with the Web, for example. They are not only starting to use the tools of Web 2.0 - blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc. They're also adapting to a new generation of kids who are growing up on the Web, the so-called 'Digital Natives'. The challenge for educators now and for the future is to learn and teach Internet literacy, converse and collaborate with their students using Web tools, and help our children make sense of the huge amounts of information and media that surround us."
Here are some further links on "Education 2.0", again by McManus at his blog on "Web 2.0" (http://www.readwriteweb.com).
See also the good sum-up by Bryan Alexander on Schools and the Web 2.0.
"eLearning 2.0" is the other term lately used for the emerging forms of learning in a Web 2.0-environment . See Stephen Downes' presentation here for a very good overview.
