">Web 2.0</acronym></a> tools for development<br />  <br /> Guest editors: Holly Ashley, Jon Corbett, Ben Garside and Giacomo Rambaldi<br />  <br /> Web 2.0 tools and approaches are radically changing the ways we create, share, collaborate and publish digital information through the Internet. Participatory Web 2.0 for development – or Web2forDev for short – is a way of employing web services to intentionally improve information-sharing and online collaboration for development. Web 2.0 presents us with new opportunities for change – as well as challenges – that we need to better understand and grasp. This special issue shares learning and reflections from practice and considers the ways forward for using Web 2.0 for development.<br />  <br /> Participatory Learning and Action is the world’s leading informal journal on participatory approaches and methods. It draws on the expertise of guest editors to provide up-to-the minute accounts of the development and use of participatory methods in specific fields. It provides a forum for those engaged in participatory work – community workers, activists and researchers – to share their experiences, conceptual reflections and methodological innovations with others, providing a genuine ‘voice from the field’. It is a vital resource for those working to enhance the participation of ordinary people in local, regional, national, and international decision-making, in both South and North.<br />  <br /> ISBN: 978-1-84369-716-9<br /> ISSN: 1357-938X<br /> Order no: 14563IIED<br />  <br /> Published by IIED and CTA, June 2009<br />  <br /> This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.
