Web 2.0 is an improved form of World Wide Web. A fundamental feature of Web 2.0 is that it can deliver and allow users to control interactive applications entirely through a web-based browser.

Examples of Web 2.0 tools and technologies include Weblogs, Wikis, Podcasts, RSS Feeds.

The purpose of this special issue is to present the opportunities and potential of various Web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning. It will provide researchers and practitioners with the most recent concepts, theories, development, practical guidelines, and concrete examples of integrating Web 2.0 tools and technologies into teaching and leaning.
