Abstract

One of the principal roles of higher education in fostering lifelong learning is helping students attain discipline or professional knowledge. This paper examines the notion of how a discipline wide learning network, enabled by Web 2.0 technologies, can be used to help alleviate some limitations of learning management systems (LMS) that may prevent higher education fulfilling this role.
