Abstract :
While Web 2.0 technologies are beginning to have beneficial effects on trade, media and business in general, there are few papers describing the impact of technology on education. Currently, there are isolated cases of teachers who begin to explore the potential of blogs, sharing of media services, and other social software - which, even are not specifically designed for e-learning can be used to give teachers, tutors and learners the ability to create exciting new learning opportunities. Our approach is to continue to benefit from the traditional approach of E-learning by using the Moodle platform and at the same time encourage students to use Web 2.0 tools in their training in order to overcome the problem of isolation faced by learners in the remote training often leading to a high dropout rate due to some technical problems.
