The document discusses the role of Web 2.0 tools in teaching and learning. It notes that Web 2.0 tools are more personal, portable, social and allow for learning at both the lesson and course level, compared to traditional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) which are monolithic, private and focused on the course level. It advocates embracing change and transforming the VLE into a more open, Social Learning Environment (SLE) that leverages the capabilities of Web 2.0 tools.
