    "Whilst the single most important development for maximising learner autonomy has been the advent of the internet, this potential has only begun to be realised with the introduction of 'Web 2.0' technologies. This paper highlights the rise of the information 'prosumer' and applies it to an education context. The modern, digital learner has come to expect much more control over the course and content of their own learning. New automated tools enable and empower more people than ever to share and discuss content with one another online.

    In an era of increasing competition, educational establishments must adapt to these changes or wither with irrelevance. The age of primarily centralised, one-directional learning is over. Institutions that are able to move ahead of this curve will have a significant competitive advantage. As part of this paper we include the results of a brief survey covering the external web facilities offered by Russell Group universities, used as a crude proxy for each institution’s overall adaption to new Web 2.0 technologies and practices.
