Web 2.0 definedWeb 2.0 definedWeb 2.0 is a new generation of Internet-based

services based on an interactivity platform, in which content is created, shared, remixed, repurposed, and passed along.

People are having a conversation, with a vocabulary consisting not just of words but of images, video, multimedia and whatever they could get their hands on. And this became, and looked like, and behaved like, a social network (Stephen Downes).

In Web 2. 0, information flows in multiple directions, is user-generated, and widely shared with the community of learners.
