George Lorenzo, Diana Oblinger and Charles Dziuban (2007) http://www.educause.edu/apps/eq/eqm07/eqm0711.asp?bhcp=1 Web 2.0 has blurred the line between producers and consumers of content and has shifted attention from access to information towards access to other people.

Adler (2008) Minds on Fire - Open Education, The Long Tail and Learning 2.0 http://connect.educause.edu/Library/EDUCAUSE+Review/MindsonFireOpenEducationt/45823?time=1201604527
(E-)learning 2.0 Traditionally e-learning has focussed on content delivery and consumption by students. In moving to e-learning 2.0 there is greater emphasis on connections, context and learning as a process not an outcome. We are moving into a new era of sharing content, collaborating and syndicating learning materials online. This is not just about learning content but about developing new ways of learning. Jane Knight, Learning Light, 2007
