“Web 2.0”描述了一系列基于网络的技术，这些技术在设计和功能上都采用以用户为中心的方法，用户通过实践社区成员之间的公开协作积极参与内容的创建和编辑。当代医学院的学生使Facebook和MySpace等Web 2.0网站成为互联网上最受欢迎的网站之一。医学教育工作者和教育软件应用程序的设计者可以从理解和将Web 2.0概念应用于课程和相关网站中受益。健康科学学校已经开始试验维基、博客和其他Web 2.0应用程序，并发现了这些相对开放、以学生为中心的交流工具的优点和潜在问题。本文回顾了Web 2.0技术的独特功能，解决了潜在的陷阱问题，并提出了在健康科学教育中有价值的应用。
"Web 2.0" describes a collection of web-based technologies which share a user-focused approach to design and functionality, where users actively participate in content creation and editing through open collaboration between members of communities of practice. The current generation of students in medical school made Web 2.0 websites such as Facebook and MySpace some of the most popular on the Internet. Medical educators and designers of educational software applications can benefit from understanding and applying Web 2.0 concepts to the curriculum and related websites. Health science schools have begun experimenting with wikis, blogs and other Web 2.0 applications and have identified both advantages and potential problems with these relatively open, student-focused communication tools. This paper reviews the unique features of Web 2.0 technologies, addresses questions regarding potential pitfalls and suggests valuable applications in health science education.
