A short study on how Web 2.0 technologies can inter-relate with universities’ institutional systems and policies to support effective practice.

Web 2.0 and Policy

The study provides a set of recommendations for JISC, institutions, and teachers on the effective use of Web 2.0 technologies for sharing content for teaching and learning. This was achieved by desk research building on JISC-funded and other work already undertaken, and widespread consultation across the community through an online workshop. The desk research looked at both existing practice and institutional policies, which can facilitate or inhibit the use of Web 2.0 technologies to share content. To provide a focus for the workshop, we published the results of our desk research together with any interim conclusions and the issues that we believed the workshop needed to address. The workshop had a specific focus each day to ensure that all the important issues were addressed.
