Abstract


Education affects human life deeply. In the educational process, technology is playing ever increasing role - both in quality and in its reach or accessibility covering diverse sections of the society. Recent research has revealed how rich web applications in education can significantly enhance quality of teaching and learning. The currently most used web version is Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is an approach towards the use of Internet based technologies, which provides access to a range of layouts (platforms) and languages that belong to a social framework based on communities and networks. Web 2.0 can provide various benefits to learners ranging from different disciplines for Arts, Communication, Education, Mathematics, Engineering, and Sciences particularly to get digital form of latest information&knowledge in an efficient and effective manner. Web 2.0 can play a key role in the delivery of education by providing platform for effective student participation, educational networking, fast query response and collaborative learning. This paper addresses the challenge of engaging teachers&learners in opening up the learning environment through the use of Web 2.0 tools. This paper also suggests&analyzes potential uses of Web 2.0 tools in improving effective delivery of learning&in enhancing learning experiences.
