The UniServity cLc and Web 2.0
The Key to implementing Web 2.0 in your school
A safe and secure Web 2.0 Container
The UniServity cLc is has the capacity to place authenticated learners into safe and
secure communities with access to a suite of familiar Web 2.0 social networking
tools, allowing them to establish meaningful, relevant and authentic learning
relationships with partners with different skills, opinions and backgrounds, so that
they can collaborate in discussions, share tasks, review and assess each other’s
published work and co-construct knowledge, arriving at a shared understanding and
deep learning in alignment with core skills and standards.
Secure access to the cLc’s comprehensive suite of C21st social learning tools, the
capacity to create, manage and connect additional communities along with the
ability to safely integrate commonly used open source Web 2.0 applications offers
teachers and learners unique opportunities to safely rehearse and develop their
skills, knowledge and understanding of Web 2.0 technologies and their application
for safe and responsible learning; allowing schools to safely leverage the full
potential of these resources for all members of their communities.
The ability to belong to multiple learning communities, each with their own defined
points of contact allows learners to break free of the constraints of the traditional
classroom, supplementing and transforming existing practice by extending access to
learning opportunities beyond the traditional school day irrespective of time and
location.
