Over the last few years an evolution has taken place in the way users communicate through the web. New web technologies and, above all, the new role of the users have led to the appearance of innovative web applications based on collective intelligence or social intelligence. In these applications the users play an active part: for the first time, the users, as part of a community, give their opinions, create, access, edit and participate in the contents. Applications of this type form part of “web 2.0” which can be summed up as a new philosophy or concept of how to use Internet. This article gives an overview of web 2.0 and the potential impact of its use in education. Our research group considers that, in the future, the use of tools of this type will be a fundamental part of communications with students in both b-learning and in e-learning. Thus, we have attempted to develop pedagogic support for web 2.0 tools that enables us, from an educational standpoint, to rely on applications of this type. At the same time a survey was made among teachers and students in the University School of Technical Industrial Engineering (EUITI) in Gijón to analyse the current status of their knowledge of these new technologies. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
