== Web 3.0 and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) ==
on CSCL.
The [[World Wide Web]] began as information sharing on [[Static web page|static webpages]] accessible on a computer through the use of a [[web browser]]. As more interactive capabilities were added, it evolved into [[Web 2.0]], which allowed for [[user-generated content]] and participation (e.g. [[Social networking service|social networking]]). This opened up many new possibilities for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) using the Internet. The internet is now entering a new phase, [[Semantic Web|Web 3.0]] or the [[Semantic Web]], which is characterized by the greater [[interconnectivity]] of [[machine-readable data|machine-readable]] data from many different sources. New intelligent technology applications will be able to manage, organize and create meaning from this data,<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|date=2013-02-08|title=Web 3.0 technology: It's the business!|journal=Strategic Direction|volume=29|issue=3|pages=8–10|doi=10.1108/02580541311304571|issn=0258-0543}}</ref> which will have a significant impact on CSCL.
The interconnectivity of machine-readable data with semantic tags means that searches will be greatly enhanced. Search results will be more relevant, recommendations of resourceswillthe be made based on search terms and results will include [[multimedia]] content.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Allison|first1=Mark|last2=Kendrick|first2=Lynn Marie|date=2015-12-01|title=Toward Education 3.0: Pedagogical Affordances and Implicationsassistance of Socialan Software and the Semantic Web|journal=New Directions for Teaching and Learning|language=en|volume=2015|issue=144|pages=109–119|doi=10instructor.1002/tl.20167|issn=1536-0768|url=https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/116348/1/tl20167.pdf|hdl=2027.42/116348}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=Morris |first=Robin D. |date=2011-01-01 |title=Web 3.0: Implications for Online Learning |journal=TechTrends |language=en |volume=55 |issue=1 |pages=42–46 |doi=10.1007/s11528-011-0469-9|s2cid=57070903 |issn=8756-3894 |s2cid=57070903}}</ref><ref>{{Citejournal|last1=Halimi|first1=Khaled|last2=Seridi-Bouchelaghem|first2=Hassina|date=2015-01-01|title=SemanticThrough webthe baseduse learningof stylesWeb identification3.0, forgroups socialand learningcommunities environmentscan personalization|journal=Webbe formed Intelligence|language=en|volume=13|issue=1|pages=3–29|doi=10according to specific criteria without human input.
