Instructional Technology: Course Description
Professor Kurt Johnson's course in instructional technology looks at Web 2.0. These are websites that are post 2005, fit easily into a browser, are free, extremely user friendly and generally represent a collaborative environment. Web 2.0 tools, i.e. blogs or wiki, are examined as well.
