The document discusses the implications of emerging technologies like Web 3.0, social media, ubiquitous devices, and simulations/games on learning strategies and pedagogy. It analyzes how these technologies can support behaviorsim through collaboration and reinforcement, constructivism via rich media simulations, and situated/informal learning using context-aware mobile devices. It provides examples of universities adopting these technologies in various ways and emphasizes making educational content available across multiple ubiquitous devices and formats to support lifelong learning.

2. We have not defined Web 2.0 and now there is talk of 3.0… … and much more it has not all been defined need to Google to see what happened today. THE BEST WE CAN DESCRIBE “ The Dataweb”, semantic web – seamless interoperability and content reading by software agents (RDF, OWL) Network computing – software as a service, “cloud” computing 3D Environments – Second Life, there is even a Web3D Consortium… Ubiquitous connectivity - PDA’s, handheld games, Wii, etc. Collaboration and collaborative filtering – FaceBook, YouTube, and web tagging (Flickr, del.icio.us, etc) Web 3.0 What does it mean?
