I'm working on a paper about the new generation of E-learning; this is the essence of it: The first decade of E-learning (1998-2002) was characterized by great progress in technical- and administrative aspects of learning, unfortunately, the cognitive, social and pedagogical aspects of learning were mostly neglected. The emergence of Web II (social networks) and Web III (semantic web) gave rise to the second generation of E-learning. If this second generation will succeed in harnessing the features of Web II&III to the learning process, it is expected to results in more significant and higher quality learning. Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980) was an educator, philosopher, and a communication theorist. He formulated the idea that technologies are artificial extensions and enhancements of human sense and abilities: the radio amplifies human voice, the hammer is a powerful extension of the arm, wheel - feet, knife – teeth, etc. (Prologue to 1962's The Gutenberg Galaxy) In Accordance to this notian, the computer should be an extension of the mind and the Internet should be an enhancement of human communication and socialization. McLuhan is known for the expression "global village" which he coined. The first phase of the Internet, fulfilled this prophecy. Will the second phase of the Internet actualize McLuhan's theory about media being an extension of our human senses? Does social networking improve our social skills? Will second generation of E-learning bring development to the cognitive and social aspects of learning? I'd appreciate any input you might have on this topic, Regards, Danit Isaacs (Samaria, Israel) Hey Jeff! – Amazing insight!

I agree with you about the great potential of the web. I think that one of the positive things that happened to humans in the last years is moving from being passive users of various media like T.V. to being active users, althought many people still doensn't share this. This process is possible thanks to the internet and especially thanks to the new web, that we use to call web 2. I personally am using web 2 for my profesional needs all the time, to communicate and to get new knowledge. I agree that one of the fascinating aspects of web 2 is the ability to create your own knowledge through various tools like blogs and wikies. Hello Jeff
