  3. Today we will… • Use AJAX to create a mashup, which we will syndicate by RSS, after we create the XML file, and write up the documentation in a wiki • And I will demonstrate all of this in 3-D from within Second Life April Fools Day

  4. It Can Be Simple • Transformations in training • Web 2.0 for the trainer • Web 2.0 for training • What has been done already

  5. Warnings, the “but…” moment • Not every tool and technique works for every need and/or user • I do not have time… • I do not have money… • The old way works… • Try to leave today with one potential new tool for personal or professional usage

  6. Training Desires: Participant • Interesting & fun • Variety • Adjustable to me (pace, level, etc.) • Solo or group participation • Interactive • Easy to get help • Archived, on-going

  7. Training Desires: Trainer • Easy to maintain • Adjustable over time • Collaborative • Ability to gain feedback for improvement or assessment • Easy to incorporate into existing systems, procedures, & policies

  8. Why Web 2.0? Key concepts or focus points: • Collaboration & sharing • Participant’s ownership in activities • Creation & creativity • Web-based rather than software based • Data/information • Social • Connections/relationships • Trust (2-way)

  9. Web 2.0 Concepts • Enrichment • Can be personalized • Participation • Decentralized • User “tagged” or defined • Experiences • Remixable • Behavior rather than the actual tools • Beyond static web pages
