Synopsis:
This module will explore, examine and investigate the importance of Web 3.0 tools, the third
generation Internet-based services called the intelligent web such as semantic web,
machine learning, machine reasoning, data mining and artificial intelligence. This module will
examine current technological-based instructional tools, strategies for effective instruction
with the tools, and issues related to their applications. The module is divided into three main
sections. The first section covers the fundamentals of technology use in instruction. It
includes a study and discussion in defining and examining the components in the Web 3.0
and Education 3.0 (EDU 3.0). It includes discussion on factors leading to the application of
technology and ICT in instruction, the different types of instructional tools and issues related
to the use of technology in instruction. The second section focuses on the usage of Web 3.0
tools in delivering content to fulfill the requirement of EDU 3.0 which is socially constructed
and contextually reinvented. It also covers the discussion on the use of semantic web,
machine learning and artificial intelligence. The last section explores the possibilities of other
specialised technologies in instruction and their impact in education. Learners are also
required critically review some of the case studies related to the use of instructional media or
tools.
