Enhancing learning through Web2.0

Maurice Shock Medical Sciences Building University of Leicester

Web2.0 technologies continue to grow both in diversity and usage and have the potential to impact all areas of learning. How can a bioscientist navigate the technologies of Web2.0 and why should you bother? The Centre for Bioscience brought together examples of Web 2.0 practices and tools to assist student learning or academic scholarship. The day advocated useful approaches rather than particular programmes and was aimed at the novice to moderate user of Web2.0 tools. On the day we were able to draw from the pool of a sizeable group of experts which mentored others and helped to develop the Bioscience Web 2.0 theme areas.
