    Publication . Isaías, Pedro; Miranda, Paula; Pífano, Sara
    Technology, and Web 2.0 in particular, has been the focus of many universities’ efforts to respond to 21st-century learners’ demands and the volatile nature of the modern workplace. Web 2.0, with the numerous benefits it presents, seems to fit the needs of a socially connected and information-led society, but its integration in educational settings remains an intricate process. This paper examines the factors that potentiate the successful integration of Web 2.0 tools in higher education, by structuring them into a framework composed of six elements. The framework was validated by an online questionnaire that was distributed among higher education experts, who reiterated the importance of all the factors: technology selection, user-friendly tools, students’ participation, high number of active students, relevant content, and features for content addition and communication.
