M. M. Mehendale & Prasad Joshi

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

With the technological advancement and ICT revolution education has crossed the geopolitical borders and is becoming more global. The emergence of open source software on the Web like Wikis have been instrumental in repurposing the manner in which pedagogy is conceived and delivered in schools, Not only are the materials& pedagogy becoming more influenced by the rich global environment, but communication among students at all levels are also playing an increasingly important role. E learning 2.0 patterned after Web 2.0 places increased emphasis on social learning, uses blogs, wikis, pod casts as resources. It is built around collaboration. It assumes that knowledge is socially constructed. Learning results through conversations about context & grounded interaction about problems & actions.
