| Summary: | Web 2.0 technologies have become fundamental tools for students to become active learners by posting their thoughts and ideas in collaboration with teachers using Web 2.0 applicatios. In order to understand why they use respective applications in Web 2.0 technologies, this study quantitatively investigate three (3) factors influencing the use of Web 2.0 among undergraduate students. The three (3) independents variables are the Use of Online Tools, Usage Trends and Expectations and one (1) dependent variable is the Use of Web 2.0. The paper draws on the practical experience of undergraduate students across different modes of studies. The results show a significant support of all the three (3) independents variables towards the Use of Web 2.0 by the undergraduates. © 2013 IEEE. |
