“Learning… is not making deposits in one’s data bank. It is more like mixing a new ingredient into the soup of perception and cognition.”

(Davis, Sumara, and Luce-Kapler, 2000, p. 197)

The survey of E-Learning 2.0 and use of Web 2.0 technologies in learning.

E-Learning 2.0 is growing at very fast rates with use of blogs up 25%.

My main idea is like oganizations must have ready access to online reference, virtual labs, wikis, blogs, forums, social networking, podcasting, and more, so that they can deploy them into integrated learning solutions.

Learning is not automatic just because one uses electronic technologies; it is advisable to accept that both learners and instructors need to be prepared for, and comfortable with, this new educational environment. The online environment is not a classroom.

There are some basic skills that are needed to teach online with present-day technology:

• comfort level and familiarity with computers and learning

Software.

• Multi-task ability, as the online environment often requires you to pay attention and work with several dimensions of teaching at the same time.

The ability to use computers and learning software.

• Being self-directed – the ability to learn even if the instructor is not Available.
