Dr. Jeffrey Ruth from East Stroudsburg University gave a presentation on May 8, 2007 about web apps for higher education that provide cutting edge performance on a low budget. He discussed what tools are available like content management systems, weblogs, wikis, and various media editors. He also covered some facts about Web 2.0, including a shift toward online apps, open source software expansion, Creative Commons copyright reforms, and the rise of social networking with user-generated content. Students are increasingly turning to the web instead of libraries for information and collaboration.
