The past 15 years have seen a significant increase in the use of technology in higher education. In fact, professors now find it difficult to imagine teaching without the Internet, course-management systems, Microsoft Office, e-mail, and other technological applications. Course-management systems allow faculty members to deliver materials to their students with greater ease than was previously possible. However, the most significant problem with course-management systems is that they are built around the credit-based course, not the individual student. One answer may be found in the latest evolution of the Web, often called the "read/write Web" or "Web 2.0," some of whose improvements are already available. One of the developments has been the ability of people to write to the Web without the specialized skills once necessary to create a Web page. The resulting change is that, rather than simply reading from the Web, people everywhere are now creating online content.
