Abstract

Latest advances in ICT have started impacting also the field of education and training. Social computing and Web2.0 technologies have brought vigorous opportunities for learning and have realised a shift of the web‟s role in learning from an information carrier to a facilitator for the creation and distribution of collective knowledge [1]. Technological advances have enhanced the potential of collaborative learning and peer-learning, where students can become more active participants and co-producers of knowledge, thereby allowing for more horizontal educational structures and contexts.
