skills and dispositions needed to be effective
lifelong learners. Specifically, educators can use
these technologies to help students develop au-
tonomy, responsibility, and intentionality; encour-
age student reflection; enculturate students into
a community of practice; and enjoin students to
participate in discourse and collaboration. These
fundamental skills are needed to engage in the self-
directed learning and metacognitive processing
that is at the heart of effective lifelong learning.
There is little doubt in our minds that current
and yet-to-be-realized Web 2.0 technologies and
tools can be used by postsecondary educators to
support student learning in powerful and meaning-
ful ways, while at the same time address head-on
the emerging trends and challenges facing postsec-
ondary education today. To realize the potential of
Learning 2.0, we as postsecondary educators need
to continue our exploration of Web 2.0 technolo-
gies for teaching and learning, discovering new
ways these tools can help us achieve our instruc-
tional goals and objectives; and, in the process,
help students develop the mandatory skills that
will enable them to perpetually learn, unlearn, and
relearn as the world shifts beneath them.
