Simple, open source internet-based applications and services designed to enhance on-line collaboration are now available to the wider public at little or no cost at all. These new online technologies known as Web 2.0 applications - sometimes called ‘social media’ - enable people to collaborate to create, share and publish information.

Venue: Center for Virtual Learning Lab (Yombo Lab), College of Information and Communication Technologies (CoICT), University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM), Tanzania.

The University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM), in collaboration with CTA will host one  5-day Web 2.0 Learning Opportunity starting on Monday 12 December 2011. Participants will be introduced to selected web 2.0 applications and will learn how to use them hands-on.
