WEB 2.0 AS A RESEARCH TOOL
Just like the Web 2.0 has transformed the Web and the
way people use the Web, we believe that Web 2.0 has the po-tential to transform research in technology-enhanced learn-ing. We base this claim on two observations: rst, on the
wealth and variety of Web 2.0 services that are available
today, and second, on the low complexity of exploiting the
functionality of the services by APIs, which allows to imple-ment functionality on top of these services.
The wealth of functionality (mostly) freely available
today is unparalleled. To cite but a few examples rel-evant for learning: e-portfolios
, navigation analysis conversion of spoken word to text and vice versa
9
, col-laborative oce functionality
10
, video editing
11
, etc.
The Web technology has matured to such a degree
that complex applications can be assembled in a very
short time. Mash-up engines like Yahoo Pipes and Mi-crosoft's Pop
yallow a drag&drop construction of
applications that integrate functionality from existing
services without any programming knowledge. More
complex exploitation is achieved by access through open
APIs.
