Abstract

Web 2.0 platforms are seen to have an emerging role in transforming teaching and learning. Specific technologies and services contributing to higher education include blogs, micro blogs, wikis, and the syndication of content through RSS, social bookmarking, media sharing, social networking sites and other social software collaborations. These can aid educators to teach by providing tools that help creativity, collaboration, motivation, and critical thinking skills, and aid students to learn in a style they are comfortable with. With applications such as Facebook, YouTube, blogging, podcasting, online discussions, and wikis, teachers and students are finding new ways to create innovative and exciting learning opportunities in worldwide academia. These tools are very popular among students for a variety of reasons. One reason is that Web 2.0 tools are free to use and easily accessible. Since they are web based, students and teachers are no longer limited to collaborating within the walls of the classroom. This case study forms part of doctoral research investigating how e-learning is developing at one university in Saudi Arabia. The paper aims to explore whether the use of Web 2 enhances teaching and learning, the means of delivering content, and the mode of communication with others. Why should we be using Web 2 technologies for teaching and learning in higher education?

调查Web 2.0应用程序的利用:以沙特阿拉伯一所大学的市场营销教师及其基于网络的电子学习概念课程建设为例

Web 2.0平台在改变教与学的过程中扮演着越来越重要的角色。对高等教育做出贡献的具体技术和服务包括博客、微博客、维基，以及通过RSS、社会书签、媒体共享、社会网络站点和其他社会软件协作的内容联合。这些工具可以帮助教育工作者通过提供帮助创造力、协作、动机和批判性思维技能的工具来教学，并帮助学生以他们喜欢的方式学习。有了Facebook、YouTube、博客、播客、在线讨论和维基百科等应用程序，教师和学生正在寻找新的方法，在全球学术界创造创新和令人兴奋的学习机会。由于各种原因，这些工具在学生中非常受欢迎。原因之一是Web 2.0工具可以免费使用并且易于访问。由于它们是基于网络的，学生和老师不再局限于在教室的墙壁内合作。本案例研究是博士研究的一部分，该研究调查了沙特阿拉伯一所大学的电子学习发展情况。本文旨在探讨web2的使用是否能改善教学、内容的传递方式以及与他人的交流模式。为什么我们应该在高等教育中使用Web 2技术进行教学?
