Abstract: This conceptual study looks at how Web 2.0 can be used to improve teaching and learning in tertiary institutions’ research processes. The study investigates the dynamic technical and philosophical developments in education, as well as how to put new technology into practice. It explores various aspect of Web 2.0 as well as the evolving perspectives on teaching and learning in higher education. The integration of appropriate pedagogies and Web 2.0 tools can help create and support collaborative student learning and teaching.

I. INTRODUCTION
Web 2.0 is associated with a specific subset of applications such as, Facebook, Twitter, twitter Telegram and many others that are identified as representative of the new wave of technology. It may be harder to determine a comprehensive definition, but there is an “intuitive recognition” of which sites form the popular conception of Web 2.0 (O’Reilly, 2007). Tim O’Reilly first coined the term Web 2.0 in 2004 as a conference marketing phrase. Since then, Web 2.0 has focused the conversation about the future of the web and has successfully moved from tech-speak to mainstream. Web 2.0 was regarded as the advanced information services, when it started in 2005. Russell Shaw surmised that Web 2.0 was not as tidy and integrative as had been portrayed, and consisted of “various standards and technologies, some were compatible and others were not. Some were revolutionary, some were evolutionary, some were collaborative, others were competitive with each other” (Shaw, 2005).
In the academic world, there is digital innovation and excitement, educators had been encouraged to adapt are to adopt the new forms of technologies for communication, since they are the style that are shaping emerging generations through the use of PowerPoint for teaching, Web conference teleconferencing, skype etc. (Bass, 2009). Researchers in education are beginning to explore the implications and consequences of implementing Web 2.0 technology (Bass 2009, Luo, 2009; McLaughlin and Lee, 2008). Tim O’Reilly is generally credited with popularizing the term, following a conference dealing with next-generation Web concepts and issues held by O’Reilly Media and Media Live International in 2004. O’Reilly Media has subsequently been energetic about trying to copyright “Web 2.0” and holds an annual conference of the same name.
