Education 2.0

A lot of thoughts is given, these days, onto the potential of web 2.0 applications to revive instructional methods. An interesting experiment, related here, had Second Life as an educational platform. Second life was viewed both as the platform for teaching delivery (virtual classroom) and as the subject of teaching (online ethnography).

With creativity, such experiments can certainly revive more traditional Management of Information Systems classes.

The LIFE (Learning in Informal and Formal Environments) center, funded by the NSF, provides a wealth of ideas and information onto how to be innovative and effective in these new learning environments.
