Community & Collaboration on a scale never seen before…
What else did

mean?
How does Web 2.0 differ fromwhat came before?
Social software is a subset of Web 2.0 and a continuation of older computer-mediated communication (CMC) tools such as IM, newsgroups, groupware, and virtual communities (Alexander, 2006; Rheingold, 2003, ¶4).

Web 2.0
Web 2.0 includes a broad range of web technologies, services, and tools, and refers to a renewed pattern of web technology adoption and innovation.

Educational Social Software
aka Web 2.0 Tools
ESS enable:
• lower the barriers to participation and
self-authoring:
web-based & easy-to-use
community-based & sense of ownership
• increased capacity for working together
(communication, collaboration)
• collectively change the rules of social
interaction
• personalization-- goals, interface,
“networked tools that support and encourage individuals to learn together while retaining individual control over their time, space, presence, activity, indentity, and relationship.
~ Terry Anderson, Ch.9, p.227Theory and Practice of Online Learning
Web 2.0: What Is It Really? 6 elements that define the change in how we all
think about and use the Web:
1. Web 2.0 is about data abstraction -- free information from containers.
2. Web 2.0 takes broadband and Moore's Law for granted -- start with the assumption bandwidth is basically free and readily accessible.
3. Web 2.0 is about connections -- Connections between people, between sites, between the Web and mobile worlds, between buyers and sellers.
4. The Web 2.0 revolution puts people first -- The needs of the user (not the programmer, marketing director, or information architect) come first.
5. Web 2.0 is about allowing people to manipulate data, not just retrieve data.
6. Web 2.0 is about doing stuff on the Web that can't be done in any other medium.
1. User-Generated Content – media content, publicly available, produced by end-users
2. Architecture of Participation – the way a service is designed facilitates participation and promotes UGC.
3. Wisdom of the Crowds (Crowdsourcing) –leveraging the mass collaboration enabled by Web 2.0 technologies to achieve small goals/task or solve problems.
4. Network Effects & the Long Tail – large user base; value increases for everyone as new users join/participate
5. Data on Epic Scale –information collected indirectly from users and aggregated as a side effect of ordinary use of Google, etc.
6. Open-ness -- Web has a strong tradition of working in an open fashion

Six Big Ideas Behind Web 2.0
Anderson, Paul (2007). What is Web 2.0? Ideas, technologies and implications for education. Tech Watch Report, JISC, http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/publications/twweb2.aspx
Why should You care?
Web 2.0 Transforms
Practice
• Teaching 2.0
• Learning 2.0
• Library 2.0
• Enterprise 2.0
• Journalism 2.0
What do these changes mean?
Changes in the way we:– Communicate & collaborate– provide content, services, or resources
Why should You care?• In the end, you don’t really have a choice -- Embrace 2.0
technologies:– most people are probably already Social Computing aficionados– that is what our clients are expecting– cost effective given our limited resources and increasing demands.
• Web 2.0 tools offer several benefits to instructors, including:– ease of use– interactions/integrations with other commonly-used tools– filling needs not currently met with other tools– inspiring creativity and exploration in teaching– authentic learning experiences

ISD 2.0?
• Don’t start with the technology• Think about your course goals – what are you trying
to do?• What are your needs, especially in terms of
collaboration, content, and communication• Then you can move to thinking about technology
ISD 2.0?
• What do you think ISD 2.0 is?
ISD 2.0
• The students are highly involved in the instructional design of their class
• CCK09 - In a traditional course, instructional design is utilized to provide structure and coherence to a course. In a distributed course, such as you’ll encounter in CCK09, conversations and content are not centralized. To bring these voices together, we rely on aggregation methods and software. When you post on your blog, Twitter, Delicious, or anywhere else if you tag your contribution with CCK09, others in the course will discover it through Google Alerts (or similar aggregation method).

Web 2.0 Technology Selection CriteriaEvaluate your possible tool choices using these criteria to eliminate poor choices quickly. Then, do more extensive testing to find that ‘perfect' Web 2.0 technology.
Criteria 1: Access •Is the tool accessible by Windows and Mac users?•Is the tool / product of tool viewable in a variety of web browsers?•Does the tool work well for those with dial-up connections?•Does the tool provide options that support ADA compliance?•Is the tool free?•Will the tool be around for a while?
Criteria 2: Usability•Do you have to create an account to use the tool?•Is the tool easy to use?•Does the tool have a robust and easy to use Help section?•Does anything have to be downloaded and installed on the computer to use the tool?

Criteria 4: Workload & Time Management•Does the tool make it easy to track student work (for grading purposes).•Does the tool support private and public commenting (for individual and group feedback)?•Does the tool provide for an RSS feed to track work via email or an RSS reader?•Is it possible to embed the tool into the LCMS you're using?
Criteria 5: Fun Factor•Does the tool allow you to be creative during the learning process?•Does the tool allow you to demonstrate creativity in the learning product?•Does the tool provide opportunities for different types of interaction (visual, verbal, written)?•Does the tool increase the perception of connectedness?•Does the tool encourage collaboration?
