Towards a participatory E-learning 2.0 A new E-learning focused on learners and validation of the content

Our aim is to propose a collaborative methodological approach centred on learners and based on the Web 2.0 tools in order to make E-learning 2.0. It is based on a process consisting of four iterative steps which are: grouping, collaborating, validating and publishing content. In this context, learners will be the creators of the content of assigned courses in a virtual meeting through the chat. These contents will be validated after a pedagogical monitoring by the instructor through the class's blog and merged into a single course content published on a class wiki. Social interaction and sharing of files on the web will be the responsibility of social networks. The rest of the web 2.0 tools such as RSS feeds, tags, podcasts and video casts will be used as complementary tools in order to improve the quality of training. This methodological approach will allow E-learning 2.0 by ensuring a better interactivity, collaboration, sharing and an optimal exploitation of collaborative intelligence in the classroom.
