Out of all the Internet buzzwords and jargon that have made the transition to the public consciousness, "Web 2.0" might be the best known. Even though a lot of people have heard about it, not many have any idea what Web 2.0 means. Some people claim that the term itself is nothing more than a marketing ploy designed to convince venture capitalists to invest millions of dollars into Web sites. There wasn't even any agreement about if there was a Web 1.0. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, dismissed the Web 2.0 concept. He called Web 2.0 "a piece of jargon" and said "nobody even knows what it means" in an IBM developerWorks interview. Berners-Lee said the World Wide Web was always a way for people to connect with one another and that there was nothing new or revolutionary about the Web 2.0 philosophy Other people insist that Web 2.0 is a reality. In brief, the characteristics of Web 2.0 include: The ability for visitors to make c

Mobile-assisted language learning One of the most recent changes in English language teaching has been the use of mobile devices. The present article is an introduction to mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). Mobile-assisted language learning, a successor of computer-assisted language learning, is a new phase in second and foreign language learning. I have chosen to focus on this aspect due to the increasing interest that students show in using mobile devices in order to practise languages and the relevance of these devices in today’s context.

What are MOOCs? MOOCs are courses delivered online and accessible to all for free. MOOC stands for massive open online course: Massive  because enrollments are unlimited and can run into hundreds of thousands.

Hello, dear fellows! Ch­ances that you have heard of Wikis by now - seem to be popping up everywhere. For example, the most famous wiki is called Wikipidea, a massive online encyclopedia. Wikipedia has become so large (more than a million articles) that you run across it all the time in Google. It is so popular that it is now one of the Top 100 web sites in the world! ­ Wikis are growing because, at their core, they are about as simple as can be. That simplicity means that people find them easy to use, just like e-mail and blogs. Like e-mail and blogs, wikis also perform a very useful service in a simple way. A wiki allows a group of people to enter and communally edit bits of text. These bits of text can be viewed and edited by anyone who visits the wiki. But at the same time,  Wikis also seem very strange to many people. Where does all the information come from? Is it reliable? What stops people from vandalizing a wiki until it dies? People assume that because anyone can
