Planning and designing learning in a world of widgets and Web 2.0

This session will explore the developments in learning design and in particular the potential of web 2.0 technologies such as widgets in education. How can we best exploit this technology for teaching and learning? Will web 2.0 really provide an easy way for us to share and re-use learning designs and can IMS Learning Design act as the glue to link all these tools and systems?
