Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0: What’s the
difference? Web 2.0 is noted for
Web 1.0 is based on • Users creating their own
• Users receiving content identities on the web (e.g.
from the web (often facebook)
produced by others) • Users producing and sharing
• Limits to what non- /publishing their produced
experts (those who don’t content (e.g YouTube)
know the “programming • The breaking down of the
codes”) can contribute barriers between “expert” and
• Varied media (e.g. “laymen” by providing
podcasts, video, photo, tools/software that empowers
print, etc.) laymen (e.g. photoshop)

change on their surroundings)

document or program/project (e.g. a syllabus, a power
point presentation, a slide show, a newsletter)
 To provide a semi-restricted space for participants to
share ideas, impressions, etc. (e.g. accessturkey)
