Abstract and Figures

This paper is a reflection on the potential of learning communities in the Web 2.0 in terms of learning (formal and informal) for young people. Specifically, it focuses on the integration of real remote laboratories like " e-lab.ist.eu " in the community of students and teachers of secondary education-"FQ em rede" and how it can expand and flatten the school frontiers, in particular those of laboratories. It generates new opportunities for involvement and new learning around the experimental activities provided by the remotely controlled laboratories, such as "e-lab".

Article
The purpose of this chapter is to outline some of the thinking behind new e-learning technology, including e-portfolios and personal learning environments. Part of this thinking is centered around the theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in any given place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community. And another part of this thinking is centered around the new, and the newly empowered, learner, the member of the net generation, who is thinking and interacting in new ways. These trends combine to form what is sometimes called 'e-learning 2.0' - an approach to learning that is based on conversation and interaction, on sharing, creation and participation, on learning not as a separate activity, but rather, as embedded in meaningful activities such as games or workflows.
