This article or section is currently under construction
In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")
Definition
This is a list of web 2.0 applications. I should centralize software discussed in rich internet applications, virtual office, social software, personal learning environments etc.
Basically I want this to be a toolkit
- for teachers engaged in project-oriented learning
- learners who on their own initiative, want to have a personal learning environment / learning e-portfolio
