Pedagogy of Web 2.0

Q. How many Wiki people does it take to change a light bulb?

A. One, but anyone can change it back.

Users Add Value
The key to competitive advantage in internet applications is the extent to which users add their own data to that which you provide. Therefore: Don't restrict your "architecture of participation" to software development. Involve your users both implicitly and explicitly in adding value to your application.

Bad News for Blackboard, Good News for Moodle

But can Web 2.0 tools truly replace something as big as a CMS? In my analysis, the answer is a resounding yes. Whereas Blackboard was designed for instructors, wikis were made for everyone. Blackboard is big, and has more features than most people will ever use. Wiki is small, and has one feature that’s simple enough to be applied to any use. The fundamental difference between the two is this: Blackboard is something designed to do everything, and the wiki is something that can do everything because of its design.

Folksonomy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy

Folksonomy (also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. In contrast to traditional subject indexing, metadata is generated not only by experts but also by creators and consumers of the content. Usually, freely chosen keywords are used instead of a controlled vocabulary.[1]

Folksonomies - Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata

Conclusion

A folksonomy represents simultaneously some of the best and worst in the organization of information. Its uncontrolled nature is fundamentally chaotic, suffers from problems of imprecision and ambiguity that well developed controlled vocabularies and name authorities effectively ameliorate. Conversely, systems employing free-‍form tagging that are encouraging users to organize information in their own ways are supremely responsive to user needs and vocabularies, and involve the users of information actively in the organizational system. Overall, transforming the creation of explicit metadata for resources from an isolated, professional activity into a shared, communicative activity by users is an important development that should be explored and considered for future systems development.

In library settings we come across a lot of different students inc. so-called "digital natives" who don't like the technologies. Sometimes they preface their questions with comments like "I know that I'm young so I should know ..." or "I know that journalism students are supposed to love this technology & know all about it but I don't, and I can't figure out how to ...". It's a shame that students feel the need to apologise that they haven't learnt about various technologies, that somehow the educational environment gives them the impression that they should be just absorbing this stuff.
