Is Google Wave the Future of Online Learning?
Posted by admin on December 28th, 2009
Google Wave, the upcoming communication and networking tool which Google plans to release in 2010, already has educators excited about the growth opportunities it may bring to online education. As a web-based service, the possibilities for online students to collaborate from different locations are definitely out there; through increased collaborative learning efforts, students will be able to reach their full potential by working through problems with other students and institutions worldwide. Schools will be able to enhance their delivery methods through the use of different applications, which allow institutions to combine the features of different websites to create the optimum learning environment. Even better for students and institutions is the possibility of institute-created applications, which could provide students with new, no-cost education software.
Although Google Wave is only available in beta form, you can request an application to try it out yourself directly from their site. For more information about Google Wave, check out this article.
