Abstract
"Web 2.0 changes everything!". As can be seen from a Google search for this phrase many seem to feel that the advent of Web 2.0 technologies is heralding significant changes in many sectors. But how, exactly, is Web 2.0 changing the nature of our institutions and the way in which learning is provided within our institutions? Will Web 2.0 bring about significant changes within our institutions or is it, in fact, being overhyped, with the changes will simply be absorbed into mainstream activities?

In the workshop session on "Responding to Change and Institutional Challenges" participants will have the opportunity to discuss these issues. Brief presentations covering a couple of subject areas (e.g. the role of Web 2.0) will be prepared, but there will also be the opportunity to discuss other topics of interest to the participants.
