LMS and Web 2.0 tools for e-learning: University of Deusto´s experience taking advantage of both

Information and Communication Technologies have enabled us to gather much more information, to process it better and to disseminate it to anybody in the world. So, these technologies appeared to be one of the most powerful tools for educators. The experience or the University of Deusto in applying a Competence-Base Learning Model supported in an LMS and the results of the adoption of this Learning Model to a new Open Source LMS give us the lights of LMSs experience in University. The adoption of 2.0 technologies in the classroom through an initiative of the Telefonica Chair has result in a test bank and a very useful experience for educators interested in applying these technologies so as to know the lights and the shadows of this tools.
