Educational Applications of Web 2.0: Strategies to Enrich the Teaching and Learning in the Graduate School

Published:13 January 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

The rapid growth of the Internet had brought several transformations in today's teaching and learning process. The use of Web 2.0 technologies and e-learning platforms are becoming popular in higher education particularly in graduate school. Educators used these tools to foster student engagement and strengthen their learning experiences. However, not all faculty members are using Web 2.0 tools. This study sought to identify the issues and concerns in the implementation of Web 2.0 on the teaching and learning process and proposes strategies to properly deploy Web 2.0 technologies. The findings of this study provide valuable insights and strategies for integrating Web 2.0 that will serve as a reference by faculty members teaching the graduate school.
