Abstract

The recent years saw a lot of discussion about technologies and applications labeled "Web 2.0" and its influence on e-learning. "Web 2.0", labeling an idea rather than a concrete technology, lead to the definition of the related concept "E-Learning 2.0" and research on possible use of corresponding online tools and technologies in E-Learning has been published. Yet the actual inclusion of such concepts in everyday learning situations, especially in university settings, remains undetermined. This paper describes the analysis of a survey conducted to verify the influence of "Web 2.0" applications for Learning at the Graz University of Technology. The goal was to investigate the frequency of passive use, work a a developer and use in lectures and learning, as well as the influence of the education level thereon. The survey was released to students of lectures ranging from freshmen to master students.
