Wiki-learnia: Social E-learning in a Web 3.0 Environment

Social networks as a Web 2.0 technology have become a popular information exchange medium which is characterized by diverse, intuitive communication services. Wiki-Learnia as an e-learning 3.0 platform goes one step further by also transparently integrating external portals such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The learner focuses on the essentials and cooperating over different communication channels in parallel to transfer knowledge. Here, not only the usual dialogue between two learners or between teachers and learners should be encouraged, but there’s also the intrinsic motivation to organize learning communities. The resulting crossnetwork information exchange has a strong positive effect on the teaching and learning experience of the community.
