What is Active Learning & Web 2.0?

 

 "Active learning refers to techniques where students do more than simply listen to a lecture. Students are DOING something including, discovering, processing, and applying information.

-Kathleen McKinney, Professor of Sociology, Illinois State University

 

Web 2.0 is..."delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others..."
