Analysis of the Design for Learning Environment of Web Technology in a Web 2.0 System Development Case : Applying and Expanding Situated Learning Theory(<Special Issue>Collaborative Learning and Networked Communities)

Abstract

In this research, we first clarified how Web 2.0 systems as social architectures are arranged and utilized based on students' report and on surveying the internet focusing on the activities of a community of web system engineers. In doing so, we shed light on how the environment for Web 2.0 system development is organized. Second, we conducted a field survey on a research project for developing Web 2.0 systems. Based on this survey we analyzed how the learning environment of Web 2.0 system development for students is organized. Finally we proposed perspectives for designing the learning environment of modern web technologies.
