Abstract :
With the birth of Web 2.0, the development of the Internet has entered a new age. In addition to constant changes in information technology, Internet user behavior is radically different than in the past. However, as an educational tool, the application of Web 2.0 is still in its infancy. In this paper, we develop IWiLL 2.0, an online learning community based around the core concepts of Web 2.0. According to our research results, we find that learners experience more interaction from IWiLL 2.0 than IWiLL 1.0, with significant differences. We also present the future work for further study.
