“…Algunas instituciones, por ejemplo la Universidad de Warwick, hace un gran uso de esta herramienta. De hecho, hay muchos argumentos a favor de su utilización por parte de una institución para diferentes finalidades, entre las que se puede destacar su uso como un recurso pedagógico más en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, así como en el campo de la investigación y en los aspectos Un wiki es una página web colaborativa cuyo contenido pueden editar sus visitantes, que permite a los usuarios crear y editar páginas web de forma colaborativa (Chao, 2007). Entre los posibles usos pedagógicos que se podrían dar a los wikis, Duffy y Bruns (2006), señalan que se puede emplear para publicar o alojar recursos como la programación didáctica y materiales imprimibles del curso.…”

“…Parker y Chao (2007) confirman esto y añaden que en los wikis la información se estructura en temas mientras que en los blogs aparecen en orden cronológico inverso. Es por eso por lo que se espera que los temas que se tratan en los wikis evolucionen y se expandan hasta convertirse en una base permanente de conocimiento, mientras que el orden cronológico inverso de los blogs hace que resulte difícil encontrar todas las entradas relacionadas con un mismo tema o navegar por todas las entradas referidas a ese asunto.…”

Resumen:En la actualidad el espíritu de la Web 2.0, por el que los usuarios de la red han dejado de ser meros consumidores de información para convertirse en productores de la misma de forma colaborativa, ha invadido todos los ámbitos de la vida cotidiana de las personas, y el contexto educativo no puede ser una excepción. En este artículo se presenta una propuesta para sacar partido a algunas herramientas que acompañan a la Web 2.0 para que todos los que tienen que ver con un centro educativo se sientan realmente involucrados y tengan la sensación de pertenecer a una comunidad concreta. Esta propuesta afecta a todos los sectores implicados en el contexto educativo (alumnado, profesorado, administración, etc.) y toma como referencia un centro de características singulares, por tratarse de uno de los centros educativos españoles que imparte la enseñanza especializada de idiomas, que se caracteriza por tener un gran número de alumnos, un grupo considerable de profesores y en definitiva tiene una función social muy importante que desempeñar ante la creciente demanda por parte de la sociedad para formar a las personas adultas en el dominio de una o varias lenguas extranjeras. Palabras claves:Compartir información, construcción de conocimiento, software social, Web 2.0 Abstract:Nowadays the spirit of Web 2.0, whereby users become collaborative producers as well as consumers of information, has pervaded all the spheres of people's everyday lives, and the education context could be no exception. This paper puts forward a proposal to make the most of some of the tools which come with Web 2.0 so that all the members of a teaching institution can feel really involved in it and have the feeling of belonging to it. This is a very specific proposal which affects all the actors involved in the teaching context -students, teachers, management, etc. -taking as reference a school with very special characteristics, as it is one the institutions in Spain devoted to the teaching of foreign languages. It has a large number of students, a considerable number of teachers and serves an important social purpose due to the increasing demand of adult students to command one or more foreign languages. IntroducciónActualmente se añade la etiqueta «2.0» a diversos conceptos para sugerir que una actividad ha adoptado un nuevo conjunto de herramientas que la aproximan a la idea de Web 2.0 (Crook, 2008). Esta permite nuevos modos de actuación, especialmente nuevas formas de participación social en la red. El concepto de Web 2.0 abarca un amplio conjunto de significados que ponen el acento en el contenido creado por los usuarios, en compartir tanto datos como contenidos y en

“…Another stream in the literature focuses more directly on the application of a single Web 2.0 technology in the education environment, in particular wikis (Chao, 2007;Parker & Chao, 2007), blogs and microblogs (Churchill, 2009;Ebner & Maurer, 2009). …”

Over the past 15 years the Web has transformed the ways in which we search for information and use it. In more recent years, we have seen the emergence of a new array of innovative tools that collectively go under the name of 'Web 2.0', in which the information user is also increasingly an information producer (i.e., prosumer), by sharing or creating content.The success of Web 2.0 tools for personal use is only partially replicated in the professional sphere and, particularly, in the academic environment in relation with research and teaching.To date, very few studies have explored the level of adoption of Web 2.0 among academic researchers in their research and teaching activity. It is not known in what way how and how much Web 2.0 is currently used within research communities, and we are not aware of the drivers and the drawbacks of the use of Web 2.0 tools in academia, where the majority of people is focused either on research or on teaching activities.To analyse these issues, i.e. the combined adoption of Web 2.0 tools in teaching and research, the authors carried out a survey among teaching and Licia Calvi and Maria CassellaLiber Quarterly Volume 23 Issue 2 2013 111 researching staff of the University of Breda in The Netherlands. This country was chosen mainly because it is on the cutting edge as far as innovation is concerned. An important driver in choosing the Breda University's academic community was the fact that one of the two authors of this survey works as senior researcher at this university.The purpose of our survey was to explore the level of adoption of Web 2.0 tools among the academic communities. We were interested in investigating how they were using these tools in the creation of scientific knowledge both in their research and teaching activity. We were also interested in analysing differences in the level of adoption of Web 2.0 tools with regard to researchers' position, age, gender, and research field.Finally, in our study we explored the issue of peer reviewing in the Web 2.0 setting. In particular, we investigated whether social peer review is regarded by researchers as a viable alternative to the current closed peer review system (single-blind or double blind).We approached about 60 staff members, but only 12 faculty members completed the survey fully. This means that our results can only be regarded as exploratory, but we still believe that they represent a complementary perspective with respect to previous studies.

“…Although the wiki was introduced more than ten years ago, its use is relatively new in academia (Chao, 2007;Evans, 2006;Schaffert, Bischof, et al, 2006). Higher education has only recently begun to explore the potential educational value of wikis as a means to promote deeper learning and integration of learning experiences from both inside the classroom and out (Chen et al, 2005).…”

Wikis are one of many Web 2.0 components that can be used to enhance the learning process. A wiki is a web communication and collaboration tool that can be used to engage students in learning with others within a collaborative environment. This paper explains wiki usage, investigates its contribution to various learning paradigms, examines the current literature on wiki use in education, and suggests additional uses in teaching software engineering.
