Abstract |
The use of Web 2.0 technologies in the field of learning is on the rise, yet there have been a limited number of studies of the impact of Web 2.0 technologies on learning. By their nature, Web 2.0 technologies increase the interactivity between users. Interactivity is considered to be a key to success in traditional classrooms. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the interactivity of Web 2.0 technologies has an impact on the learning experience of students. The study investigates the use of web poll to provide interactivity inside the classroom. The responses reveal that the use of Web 2.0 technologies for interactivity are more positive than neutral about students’ learning experience. The study suggests that the adoption of interactivity of Web 2.0 technologies has a potential to support learning in higher education.
