e-learning
is a technology which supports teaching and learing via a computer and the web
technology. It bridges the gap between a
teacher and a student in two defferent geographical locations. Advertisement in internet and multimedia technology is the basic enabler
for e-learning.
E-learning
is learning which takes place as a result of experiences and interaction in an
Internet environment. It is not restricted to a regular college day and can
take place in a variety of locations including home, college and community
locations e.g. libraries, cafes etc.
Teachers do not necessarily mind change, what they
do mind is being made to change and become e-teachers in the new e-education
These changes highlighted the need to:
1.
Look
at the course in a new way and re-think and adapt existing course delivery.
2.
Move
from being a content provider to a content facilitator who has a good knowledge
of their subject area.
3.
Gain
proficiency in using the tools so that there is an understanding of both its
strengths and its weaknesses.
4.
Learn
to teach in absence of face-to-face interaction.
5.
Gain
an understanding of students' needs and lifestyles in their own communities.
E-learning is naturally suited to distance
learning and flexible learning, but can also be used in conjunction
with face-to-face teaching, in which case the term Blended
learning is commonly used. E-Learning pioneer Bernard Luskin argues
that the "E" must be understood to have broad meaning if e- In higher
education especially, the increasing tendency is to create a Virtual Learning Environment
(VLE) (which is sometimes combined with a Management Information System (MIS)
to create a Managed Learning Environment)
in which all aspects of a course are handled through a consistent user
interface standard throughout the institution. A growing number of physical
universities, as well as newer online-only colleges, have begun to offer a
select set of academic degree and certificate programs
via the Internet at a wide range of levels and in a wide range of disciplines.
While some programs require students to attend some campus classes or
orientations, many are delivered completely online. In addition, several
universities offer online student support services, such as online advising and
registration, e-counseling, online textbook purchase, student governments and
student newspapers.
E-Learning can also refer to educational web sites such
as those offering learning scenarios, worksheets and interactive exercises for
children. The term is also used extensively in the business sector where it
generally refers to cost-effective online training.
Communication technologies used in E-learning
Communication
technologies are such as blogs, wikis, and discussion
boards. The idea here is that participants may engage in the
exchange of ideas or information without the dependency of other participants
involvement at the same time. Electronic mail (Email) is also asynchronous in that mail
can be sent or received without having both the participants’ involvement at
the same time. activities involve the
exchange of ideas and information with one or more participants during the same
period of time. A face to face discussion is an example of synchronous
communications..
Virtual
classrooms and meetings can often use a mix of communication technologies.
Participants in a virtual classroom use icons called emoticons to communicate
feelings and responses to questions or statements. Other communication
technologies available in a virtual classroom include text notes, microphone
rights, and breakout sessions. Breakout sessions allow the participants to work
collaboratively in a small group setting to accomplish a task.
In
many models, the writing community and the communication channels relate with
the E-learning M-learning communities. Both the communities
provide a general overview of the basic learning models and the activities
required for the participants to join the learning sessions across the virtual
classroom or even across standard classrooms enabled by technology. Many
activities, essential for the learners in these environments, require frequent
chat sessions in the form of virtual classrooms and/or blog meetings.

Abstract:-
Due
to web 2.0 tools libraries can extend
their useful and powerful services to increase technological skills of librarian. . Paper attempt to introduce web
2.0 technologies eg. web 2.0,Blogs,Wikis,RSS
feeds,Postcasting,Vodcasting,tagging and Social Bookmarking,Instant
Messeging.In this paper we can see modern technology after web 1.0.It’s a very
powerful,useful and interesting for electonics users.
Keywords :-

feeds,Postcasting,Vodcasting,tagging and Social Bookmarking,Instant Messeging.
Introduction:-
Lib
2.0 is a based on the Web 2.0 idea,but applied and related to the library
environment.Library 2.0 is fundamentally about a change in how library
servicesare offered to patron. Web 2.0 technologies
are changing the way messages spread across the Web. A number of online tools
and platforms are now defining how people share their perspectives, opinions,
thoughts and experiences. Web 2.0 tools such as weblogs, RSS, video casting,
social bookmarking, social networking, podcasts and picture sharing sites are
becoming more and more popular. One major advantage of Web 2.0 tools is that
the majority of them are free.
Why use Web services :
Before the arrival of Web services, other technologies and
architectures existed that met the functionality of today´s web service.
Microsoft's version of these technologies, are called Component Object Model (COM),
and subsequently Distributed COM (DCOM). WinDNA is a comprehensive term for
implementing the above two distributed software development technologies. These
technologies typically use the TCP/IP protocol.
This forms the first reason why we use Web Services.
This forms the first reason why we use Web Services.
To restate the reason, - Web Services operate on a service-based
model architecture. This the most compelling reason why we use Web Services.
The above diagram is the representation of a service based model. In this model, the web service resides on the web server. A client computer can request and consume this web service and terminate the service as and when desired. The name "service" originates from this model of functioning of the program. The client program needs to be provided with only the url of the web service.
What Is Web 2.0.
The concept of "Web
2.0" web was more important than
ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising
regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to
have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some
kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web
2.0" wisdom.
This article is an attempt to
clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0.
In our initial brainstorming, we
formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example:

Web 1.0

|
|

|
|

|
|
stickiness
|
|
syndication
|
The list went on and on. But what
was it that made us identify one application or approach as "Web 1.0"
and another as "Web 2.0"? (The question is particularly urgent
because the Web 2.0 meme has become so widespread that companies are now
pasting it on as a marketing buzzword, with no real understanding of just what
it means. The question is particularly difficult because many of those
buzzword-addicted startups are definitely not
Web 2.0, while some of the applications we identified as Web 2.0, like Napster
and BitTorrent, are not even properly web applications!) We began trying to
tease out the principles that are demonstrated in one way or another by the
success stories of web 1.0 and by the most interesting of the new applications.
The Web As Platform:
The term “web 2.”
was first conceptualized and made popular
by Tim O’reilly and dale dougherty of O’reilly . Tim O’Reilly attempted
to define the concepts behind Web 2.0 and offered a useful diagram to
illustrate some of the related ideas.
Figure 1
shows a "meme map" of Web 2.0 that was developed at a brainstorming
session during FOO Camp, a conference at O'Reilly Media. It's very much a work
in progress, but shows the many ideas that radiate out from the Web 2.0 .
While the Web has always been a tool for collaboration, only in
the last few years has software permitted individuals to use it as a platform
for true collaborative activities. Web 2.0 is about users and content, instead
of just surfing on the Internet. It's about what the Internet can do for an
active collaborator, rather than a passive viewer.
Web 2.0 Technologies
Web 2.0 technologies are changing the way messages spread across
the Web. A number of online tools and platforms are now defining how people
share their perspectives, opinions, thoughts and experiences. Web 2.0 tools
such as weblogs, RSS, video casting, social bookmarking, social networking,
podcasts and picture sharing sites are becoming more and more popular. One
major advantage of Web 2.0 tools is that the majority of them are free.
There are a large number of Web 2.0 tools, some of the more
popular ones are:
- Blogger
,Wordpress
- Myspace
- Youtube
- Metacafe
- Del.icio.us
- Digg
- Furl
- Twitter
- Flickr
Using Web 2.0 Tools
Many people will have already used some of these Web 2.0 tools,
and a good way to explain the concept of Web 2.0 tools is to consider an
example of how they can be used.
Podcasting
If an individual was interested in video games, they might
search a podcast submission Web site (like Podcast.net) and download an audio
review of a game to listen to on their computer. A Podcast is syndicated audio,
or video produced by traditional media such as radio and television or by
individuals passionate about a particular subject.
Blogs
They may then decide to comment about this audio review on their
Blogger or Wordpress blog. A blog or Weblog, is a chronological, online diary.
Individuals can subscribe to a person's blog, which allows them to read it and
to write comments in response to blog posts.
RSS
If this weblog has an RSS feed in place, subscribers to the blog
can choose to be automatically notified of this new blog post. RSS (or Really
Simple Syndication), is a method for delivering regularly changing Web content.
Many blogs and Internet publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to
allow people to subscribe to it easily.
Social Bookmarking
This
individual may decide that they would like more people to be able to see and
remark on the blog post. They could do this by submitting the blog post to a
social bookmarking site like Del.icio.us. Social bookmarking sites are Web
sites that allow shared lists of user-created Internet bookmarks to be
displayed and commented on. Social bookmarking sites allow you to organize your
bookmarks by allocating a number of 'tags' to them. This makes it easy for
other people who may be interested in a particular group to find related
bookmarks. For example, if the tag 'games reviews' was added to a bookmark,
people searching the bookmark site for 'games reviews' information could easily
find it.

only in the last few years has software permitted individuals to use it as a
platform for true collaborative activities. Web 2.0 is about users and content,
instead of just surfing on the Internet. It's about what the Internet can do
