The Impact of Web 2.0 on Learning at a Technical University - A usage survey

Posted on 26 November 2007 by jrobes

Ich weiß leider nicht mehr genau, wie ich auf diese Studie gestoßen bin … Wie auch immer, eine kleine Untersuchung, in der gefragt wird, inwieweit Web 2.0-Technologien und -Applikationen in der Hochschulpraxis angekommen sind. 183 Teilnehmer aus drei Veranstaltungen an der TU Graz haben geantwortet. Sind die Ergebnisse überraschend?

“(1) Computer science students have surprisingly little knowledge about the basic technologies, such as AJAX, SOAP and REST, and consequently they also apply these techniques very seldomly in their development projects.
(2) The subjects’ interest in Web 2.0 applications given by frequent passive usage and active content contributions is also surprisingly low. Only media sharing and mashup applications seem to be well established by our subject group. Given the fact, that Web 2.0 is not another bubble in the new economy, curricula need to be adapted in order to educate students accordingly to industry’s needs.”
