Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective- Students' learning has been transformed by the advent of Web 2.0 which is defined as more personalized and a communicative form of the World Wide Web. This paper is positioned within the context of Web 2.0 through connectivism in changing the educational environment. Methodology/Technique Connectivism is a learning theory of the digital age, which reflects social interaction as part of the learning process. In contrast to traditional theories, students' learning can result from social interaction. Students' learning can visualised as connectivity; people derive skills and competencies from forming connections while focusing on connecting specialised information sets. Connectivity has established communication networks that enable students to obtain applicable knowledge and experiences. Findings Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, social networking sites and wikis allow for a variety of online social interactions and moulding the way people relate to each other. It also supports students' learning through the lens of connectivism. Novelty - People can still learn by applying the traditional learning theories, but the fundamental insight, aligning with the underpinning connectivism, relates to people's ability to construct their own social networks that integrates with their personal learning environments to foster and sustain the flow of knowledge.
