About this title

Synopsis

Against the background of the increasing penetration of social computing and social networking into all aspects of modern life, the Links-up project investigates whether and under what circumstances 'Web 2.0' technologies can support lifelong learning for people who experience social exclusion or who are 'at risk' of social exclusion.This report, which covers the initial phase of the two-year project, draws together the evidence from research studies, evaluations and case studies of initiatives to present the main features of the 'landscape' of 'Web 2.0 for inclusive learning'. Links-up identifies 'what works for whom under what circumstances' and considers how the outcomes and impacts of using Web 2.0 for inclusive learning can be measured. Finally, on the basis of the 'lessons learned' and the pitfalls experienced in developing and implementing Web 2.0-based support for excluded groups, the Report provides practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners in order to help make future programmes and projects in this field more effective.
