Abstract

This chapter examines how Web 2.0 technologies facilitate work and productivity for teams through a range of new worker-driven functionalities and the merger of work and learning. This is in contrast to first-generation computer-based learning that is self-paced but instructor designed and led. The chapter describes adaptive and generative modes of experiential computer-based learning, defines virtual distance and the meta-cognitive skills that employees need as they use Web 2.0 technologies, and elaborates on ways learning and HR professionals’ roles are changing as a result of user-driven learning.
