The final report on Web 2.0 Content Sharing for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education can be found on the JISC web site (published in May 2007)
The report provides a brief definition of Web 2.0 and exemplars of institutional practice in the supply of Web 2.0 services. The report then provides discussions of content creation and sharing via Web 2.0
services, the use of Web 2.0 in learning, teaching and assessment, and Web 2.0 concerns and issues for HEI strategy and policy.

The widespread availability of digital learning resources in a variety of media formats offers the possibility to make a profound difference in education. This potential has not been fully realised for range of interrelated reasons. In this paper we study the key characteristics of learning resources that have proved effective in changing learning and teaching, and relate them to existing frameworks for understanding
resources. We outline the relationships between resources, their users, and the way they are used, and explore issues that influence practitioners in choosing a particular resource. Our study is based on
a review of resources for e-learning and chemistry in post-compulsory education, undertaken for the UK Joint Information Systems Committees (JISC), as part of a wider study examining ‘The Effectiveness of
Resources, Tools and Support Services used by Tutors in Designing and Delivering E-Learning Activities’.
