Abstract:

The emergence of the so-called Web 2.0 phenomena as a social revolution has enabled and encouraged participation through open applications and services. Consequently, emerging trends in e-learning are shaped by Web 2.0 whereby students actively create content and collaborate with peers to establish learning networks. This paper researches and explores the possibility of developing an integrated e-learning courseware-builder which promotes pedagogical considerations and social collaborative learning.
