WHAT IS WEB 2.0? JISC’S REPORT

The Joint Information Systems Committee of the UK commissioned a report “to “investigate the substance behind the hyperbole surrounding Web 2.0” (Karna O’Dea, ALIA information sharing officer). The result is Paul Anderson’s What is Web 2.0? Ideas, technologies and implications for education. It looks to be a very significant report. To quote from the Executive Summary, “Web 2.0 is more than a set of ‘cool’ and new technologies and services…. It has, at its heart, a set of at least six powerful ideas that are changing the way some people interact.”
