Sets the use of social networking in context,not as a revolutionary paradigm shift, but as an evolutionary development of online practices. It also considers existing research and the ways in which research is changing in this area Chapter1 : Social Networking as an Educational Tool
What are the tools? "Web 2.0" is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design,and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with each other as contributors to the website's content, in contrast to websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them. Chapter1 : Social Networking as an Educational Tool

Addresses the detailed issues of distributed environments and the implications for course design. Chapter2 : Designing for a Distributed Environment
The purposes of this chapter,we assume the following properties define distributed learning : The components of the course are distributed across multiple media and this tends to imply a certain amount of choice of media as well as a tendency towards a student-centred learning approach Distributed learning can be used to augment traditional class-room-base courses, to deliver distance education courses or to create wholly online courses. Providing flexibility for students in terms of time or location of study is one key aim of the pedagogy of distributed learning. Chapter2 : Designing for a Distributed Environment
