Web 2.0

Here at Ossidian we are looking to improve the engagement of learners with each other. We are also researching ways to de-formalize some learning processes so that people can share ideas with each other.

Essentially this is to get away from the push model of learning that is so prevalent in the eLearning world.

Web 2.0 appears to offer ways for us to improve. Blogs. Mashups. Video. Bulletin boards. Maybe not much new under the sun, but lots of interesting stuff.

Take a look at the non-commercial Wikiversity. This is a really cool collaborative site based on the wiki idea. Maybe a little thin on good stuff, but it's growing fast.
