Learning 2.0? / Apprentissage 2.0?

9:41 pm in Description by Alexandre

Inspired by “Web 2.0,” we conceive of Learning 2.0 as forms of learning enhanced by social media and the Web. This site is meant as a way to engage learners and teachers in a community of like-minded people.

Provenant de la notion de «Web 2.0», l’«apprentissage 2.0» est une approche de l’apprentissage qui tire parti des principes du Web et du média social. Ce site se veut être un lieu de rassemblement pour apprenants et enseignants intéressés par ces sujets.

Scheduled to talk at WordCamp Montreal.

WordCamp Montreal 2010 - Aug 28-29BuddyPress, the social network based on WordPress, is becoming more and more common in academic environments where it is used for organization, communication and learning. In this discussion we will go beyond the practical and into the human side of things to consider what effects social software might be having in the world of academia. Can we use our tools to get people to think differently? Does the use of open tools help bring openness to the context where they are used? Are BuddyPress and WordPress the best tools for the job? This talk will take the form of a guided discussion including the entire audience.

Slides and notes will be here.
