Abstract
It seems just yesterday we were playing Tetris on our monochrome screens and “Computer-assisted learning” was hot and new. To date, we have been living in what has been called the “Online Era” (Warschauer 1998: 4) for almost a couple of decades, and during this time the Internet has evolved at an incredibly rapid pace. If some may find the idea that most instructors are now dependant on online resources disturbing, starting from this technology can be an excellent way to get academics and school teachers from different areas to communicate and discuss teaching strategies. When placed within a “Web 2.0” collaborative environment, this dialogue can move one step further, and create a learning space from which all can benefit. This article explains the attempt to build such an environment - the 'Ready to teach.it' website.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
