Graham Glass is a well known in the Tech community. He is known for the Awards he received, for his products (Gaia, Glue, etc.), more than 10 patents and 3+ publications, click here to read more about Graham Glass.

He is the founder of more than 3 companies and Edu2.0 is one of them. I registered with Edu2.0 to review the site and once I started to register the first thing I noticed about the site is the lengthy signup form, but don’t loose hope looking at the form because the grass is really green on the other side of the login button.

I fell in love with the concept; it’s another example of a true Web 2.0 concept where technology and humans come together. After becoming a member of this site you can choose from a variety of options, you can choose to Teach, Learn, Contribute, etc… This site was launched in late 2006 and has 600+ users as of now and it really nice to see how people come together to teach and learn.

The concept of learning on line is really promising. Imagine of a time when you don’t have to visit universities, all you have to do is to logon to a site like Edu2.0 to complete your course or to work on a project.

Up-Coming Features: I got even more excited after seeing a few things on the list

Internationalization
Web conferencing
School and district support
Mobile, etc…

Improvements:
It took some time for me to understand how the site navigation works and I think “Overview” page of the “Topic” can be made more users friendly and easy to navigate by providing some additional information, for the starters
1) Total number of documents under the root topic
2) Number of documents for every subtopic.
