Abstract
University 2.0 is a collaborative way of constructing and sharing knowledge, based on epistemological and social technologies to amplify the effect of interaction and participation at higher education settings. In this case study, Web 2.0 social technologies were implemented to improve teaching and learning performances by integrating user-centered interactive platform, offline support strategies, and evaluation systems. The interactive web-platform is the essence of University 2.0 and enables the various interested parties to practice the 2.0 spirits of openness, sharing, and participation. In order to make learning based on the web-platform more effective and efficient, offline supports such as learning cells, learning facilitators, and learning spaces should be supplemented. The CIPP model was employed to monitor all processes of the University 2.0 project, to guide developers to the next steps, to attract attention from faculty members and students, and to derive consensus among them.
