Types of WEB and their characteristics. 

First of all, I want to highlight, that WEB was not something like an actual Internet, but it was a time,  separated by the periods (3 of them), and managment of the Net. 

WEB 1.0 

Web 1.0 refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of web pages connected by hyperlinks. This type of WEB can be described as a simple static pages, which consist of some texts, hypertexts, multimedia objects. Of course all the materials are written by a moderator, who can provide only just reference materials. Users had no ability to create posts and actually do anything excluding reading/watching/listening.

WEB 2.0

One of the main characteristics of a WEB 2.0 site is that users are encouraged and invited to contribute content, instead of simply reading what’s already there. With WEB 2.0 every common user could upload textes, any multimedia, work in social networks and have a lot of fun during their tenure in the internet. It was an actual revolution. 

WEB 3.0

WEB 3.0 is predicted to become the new paradigm of the internet, an extension of WEB 2.0. Until this day there is still a huge debate around the existence of WEB 3.0. Many argue that we have already entered this era, while others disagree and claim that it is still a long road ahead until we reach it. The main idea of WEB 3.0 is to ficilitate the humanity's work by creating a special links through the Internet. It is not about enjoyment. Many people use remote access to control their houses (or anything "smart" in them).

 

Speaking of SecondLife-kind services 

I do not like the apps like this. The main reason why sounds like "If you want to study something, then it is needless to use anything entertaining. You have to find your own interest in subject."

The point of the statement leads to the next idea: I do not see any learning/teaching potential in the application. It can distract a person from real problems, which is why the meaning of learning on such platforms is almost always absent.

My MOOC experience

 The task was set quite simply: look through the list of MOOC, select a resource, select a course on it, and describe it after passing. My attention and interest were riveted on the resource COURSERA.  It attracted me with its simplicity, convenience and intuitive interface. Since I was offered to choose a direction and specialization, in the end, the resource offered several options for very tempting courses.I decided to try my hand at a course called First Step Korean, which focuses on the base of the Korean language.    The course is a set of so-called weeks, which include 6 tasks, ranging from watching videos and independent study of literature and ending with a module consisting of 4 tests on different topics.  One of the most convenient functions during a task (watching video materials) is a script that automatically highlights the sentence that is being spoken at the moment by the speaker. There is also the possibility of changing the language. There are...

QR's and Quiz

Traditional learning materials yield attractive, motivating and technologically enhanced learning materials. The QR (Quick Response) Codes are one of these innovations. The aim of this study is to redesign a lesson unit supported with QR Codes and to get the learner views about the redesigned material. Descriptive data analysis was used in the study. The findings were interpreted on the basis of Theory of Diffusion of Innovations and Theory of Uses and Gratifications. After the research, the themes found were awareness of QR Code, types of QR Codes and applications, contributions to learning, and proliferation of QR Codes. Generally, the learners participating in the study reported that they were aware of QR Codes; that they could use the QR Codes; and that using QR Codes in education was useful.  Ways of using QR codes in studies: 1) Put QR codes on classroom library books, linking out to information about the author and or book. 2) Create scavenger hunts and/or webques...
