Abstract
This annotated bibliography demonstrates that Web 2.0 tools (wikis and blogs) support a paradigm shift in asynchronous online education from instructor-driven to learner-driven knowledge sharing. Designers of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments must work with instructors to build learning management systems in which students participate in the learning process. Consistent and positive interaction between learners and instructors motivates performance through a sense of community, social interaction and recognition, and is a strong predictor of success.
