1. End of the Software Release Cycle
2. Operations must become a core competency. Google's or Yahoo!'s expertise in
product development must be matched by an expertise in daily operations.
3. Users must be treated as co-developers
6. A Web 2.0 website may typically feature a number of the following techniques:
* Rich Internet application techniques, optionally Ajax-based
* CSS
* Semantically valid XHTML markup and the use of Microformats
* Syndication and aggregation of data in RSS/Atom
* Clean and meaningful URLs
* Extensive use of folksonomies (in the form of tags or tagclouds, for example)
* Use of wiki software either completely or partially (where partial use may grow to
become the complete platform for the site)
* Weblog publishing
* Mashups
* REST or XML Webservice APIs
7. Enter Web 2.0, a vision of the Web in which information is broken
up into "microcontent" units that can be distributed over dozens
of domains. The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of
data. We are no longer just looking to the same old sources for
information. Now we're looking to a new set of tools to
aggregate and remix microcontent in new and useful ways"
Web 2.0 Design: Bootstrapping the Social Web
By Richard MacManus & Joshua Porter
In a nutshell, what was happening was that the Web was shifting from being
a medium, in which information was transmitted and consumed, into being a
platform….
For all this technology, what is important to recognize is that the emergence
of the Web 2.0 is not a technological revolution, it is a social revolution.In

21. L’approccio
L’e-learning cambia:
− da mezzo a piattaforma
− da sistema di consultazione di contenuti a sistema
di creazione di contenuti
− Dalla lettura di contenuti alla loro scrittura
− La struttura passa da quella del libro a quella della
conversazione
22. L’approccio
What happens when online learning ceases to be like a medium, and becomes more
like a platform?
What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-
consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-
authoring tool, where learning is created?
The model of e-learning as being a type of content, produced by publishers,
organized and structured into courses, and consumed by students, is turned on its
head. Insofar as there is content, it is used rather than read— and is, in any case,
more likely to be produced by students than courseware authors. And insofar as there
is structure, it is more likely to resemble a language or a conversation rather than a
book or a manual.

He showed me a web page. I don’t remember what the page contained except for
one button. It said, “Edit This Page”—and, for me, nothing was ever the same again.

23. La piattaforma
Assomiglia sempre di più ad un sistema di blogging
E’ centralizzata sull’utente e sulle sue interazioni anziché sul contenuto del
corso
Presenta un nodo di contenuto attorno al quale si sviluppa la discussione,
con collegamenti con altri nodi
Passa da sistema istituzionale ad ambiente personale
Da singola applicazione ad insieme di applicazioni
Consente la creazione di contenuti e il loro collegamento con risorse esterne
E’ stata spesso tarata sulle esigenze dell’organizzazione che non degli
utenti
La piattaforma diventa uno strumento da utilizzare anche per l’elearning, ma
soprattutto come strumento di comunicazione generale
da Ambiente di apprendimento virtuale to a ambiente di apprendimento
condiviso
24. La piattaforma
Downes
− The e-learning application, therefore, begins to look very much like a blogging tool.
− It represents one node in a web of content, connected to other nodes and content creation services
used by other students.
− It becomes, not an institutional or corporate application, but a personal learning center, where content is
reused and remixed according to the student's own needs and interests
− . It becomes, indeed, not a single application, but a collection of interoperating applications—an
environment rather than a system.

Elgg
− focuses on the learner and interactions whereas VLE's focus on the course and content delivery. It's
about providing an informal space that lets learners exercise their own thoughts, reflections, make their
own connections and be able to compile a body of evidence that would normally slip through the cracks
with the more highly structured approach that a VLE offers.
− We're trying to build a truly distributed learning landscape which allows for locally-produced relevant
content, with the wider benefit of being able to make relevant connections across sites.

25. Piattaforma
More formally, instead of using enterprise learning-management systems, educational
institutions expect to use an interlocking set of open-source applications.
− http://www.elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=articles&article=29-1
That is an approach that is too often driven by the needs of the institution rather than the
individual learner. In contrast, e-learning 2.0 (as coined by Stephen Downes) takes a 'small
pieces, loosely joined' approach that combines the use of discrete but complementary tools and
web services - such as blogs, wikis, and other social software - to support the creation of ad-hoc
learning communities
− http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/e-learning_20.php
What's more rewarding is the manner of use rather than simply the scale of use - students and
staff are using it both as an online social community and for shared academic interest. Elgg is
now being used formally within course and modules and less formally to bring together people
with similar interests - enabling people to share information, reflections and comment across
course boundaries and develop something very different to anything we've had before. I firmly
believe we're taking the first steps from a Virtual Learning Environment to a Shared Learning
Environment."

26. I contenuti
I contenuti vengono proposti per una lettura
critica e commento
Gli studenti [possono] leggerli attraverso gli rss
readers
Possono essere riutilizzati, riorganizzati,
riproposti.
L’apprendimento non dipende da come sono
scritti i contenuti ma da come sono usati
27. I contenuti
This approach to learning means that learning content is created and
distributed in a very different manner. Rather than being composed,
organized and packaged, e-learning content is syndicated, much like a blog
post or podcast.
It is aggregated by students, using their own personal RSS reader or some
similar application. From there, it is remixed and repurposed with the
student's own individual application in mind, the finished product being fed
forward to become fodder for some other student's reading and use.

28. considerazioni
In the future it will be more widely recognized that the learning comes not
from the design of learning content but in how it is used. Most e-learning
theorists are already there, and are exploring how learning content-whether
professionally authored or created by students— can be used as the basis
for learning activities rather than the conduit for learning content.
