One reason for this is the fact, that most of these platforms only support specific media types, and teachers trying to assemble learning resources have to login to and use several Web 2.0 tools at once to access all relevant resources. In this paper, we present LearnWeb2.0, an integrated environment we implemented for sharing Web 2.0 resources, which better supports learners and educators in sharing, discovering, and managing learning resources spread across different Web 2.0 platforms. LearnWeb2.0 integrates ten popular resource sharing systems as well as social networking systems, and provides advanced features for organizing and sharing distributed learning resources in a collaborative environment. The paper discusses the functionalities provided by LearnWeb2.0 in detail, both by the standalone system as well as our LearnWeb2.0 browser extension, implementing search, annotation and aggregation functionalities across the Web 2.0 platforms integrated in our system. We also describe two application scenarios for which the system has been implemented, one focusing on collaboration in the ICT department of the University of Pavia, the second one on teacher education at the Leibniz University of Hannover.
