Matt Bower, John G. Hedberg & Andreas Kuswara (2010): A framework for Web 2.0 learning design, Educational Media International, 47:3, 177-198 This paper describes an approach to conceptualising and performing Web 2.0-enabled learning design.

The learning design process can then be based upon the extent to which different Web 2.0 technologies support the content, pedagogical, modality and synchronicity requirements of the learning tasks.
