An Example of a Successful Inclusion of Teamwork and Web 2.0 Elements in Teaching Practice

Abstract

In this paper, the authors will demonstrate their experiences with the utilization of Web 2.0 elements in teaching computer science courses. The robust, reliable learning management solution the authors have employed for over a decade (Moodle) enabled them to integrate the typical building blocks of current social services and Internet communication in their common educational activities. Moreover, they conducted a number of surveys among both lecturers and students in order to draw inside information about the attitudes, feelings and thoughts of users of the mentioned services. On the general level, opinions are mostly positive within both groups of users, with slight variations regarding different services. Some of the offered possibilities are more appreciated, and used more willingly, while the rest of them are still considered only as a possibility, which suggests that the authors should provide more support and guidance to both their students and colleagues.
