Abstract
The development of online curriculum provides an opportunity to rethink traditional workflows and approaches to curriculum mapping. An XML-based single-source model is used to illustrate some key practical and conceptual challenges. A mezzanine approach to curriculum is proposed, which seeks to conceive of curriculum as a three-dimensional space embedded within various networks. The final part of the discussion then seeks to contextualise these challenges in the recent climate in which user-generated, participatory technologies have made a resurgence. Here, the single source case study highlights some complimentary benefits of using a conventional learning-object approach that provides scope to encompass the social, participatory, and collaborative aspects of “E-learning 2.0.”

Applying Web 2.0 Tools in Hybrid Learning Designs
Blogs (short for “Web logs”) are Web sites that were originally intended to allow individuals to maintain their own personal journals or diaries and make them available for public viewing on the Internet. Blogs are typically easy to use and adopt an informal, journal-entry style, making them much more convenient to update and add to than traditional Web sites. They are an example of a social software application that typifies Web 2.0, including the rise of user-generated content and personal publishing. Blogging can also be an intensely social activity, as most blog platforms allow for contributions to be made by multiple users; furthermore, bloggers with similar interests often engage in dialogue on one another’s sites and create connections among themselves to form worldwide social networks. See also Web 2.0, social software, social networking, personal publishing, user-generated content.
