What is Web 3.0 Chapter 4 Probably another buzzword like Web 2.0 for marketing purposes. Web 3.0 is referred to as the Semantic Web, in which the web itself will be used as a database with more intelligent search engines, filtering tags and where the information will be widgetized. Published in Chapter: Infoxication 2.0 Elena Benito-Ruiz (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain)Source Title: Handbook of Research on Web 2.0 and Second Language LearningCopyright: © 2009 |Pages: 20 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-60566-190-2.ch004 Abstract This chapter reviews the issue of information overload, introducing the concept of “infoxication 2.0” as one of the main downsides to Web 2.0. The chapter describes some of its potential effects on the learner, on the one hand, and puts forward some solutions to deal with the informational and communication barrage worsened by Web 2.0 plethora, on the other. The review of the issue reveals that although the problem of information overload has existed for many years, the massive abundance of fragmented Web 2.0 informational and communicative resources for the language learner might become an obstacle, i.e. it is often difficult to find what’s useful. Two kinds of solutions are identified, those based on common sense and time management, and those based on technology agents such as RSS readers and especially the future generation of RSS mash-up tools. An emphasis is placed on the role of the teacher as the facilitator to provide the know-how on these tools.
