| Today's popular resource sharing systems such as YouTube, Flickr, or Delicious
provide diverse types of content and do not focus on a particular domain such
as education. Petrides et al. point out that there is a need for platforms, which
allow for sharing of educational resources. These platforms should permit the storage of resources of dierent formats. Typically, though, dierent Web 2.0 infrastructures focus only on particular media types, e.g. videos in YouTube, pictures in Flickr, and bookmarks in Delicious, even if these resources belong to one and the same learning context. In this paper, we close this gap and present LearnWeb2.0, an elearning and competence development environment for sharing educational multimedia-based resources which are spread across the Web. |
