Along with the evolution of Internet development, teaching and learning in higher education are experiencing a reformation (Barnes, Marateo & Ferris, 2007; Collins & Halverson, 2009). Utilizing the Internet as a platform, Web 2.0 has formed an interactive affinity between Web content producers and recipients and has transformed the process of unidirectional information retrieval into a network-driven interchange with online community users (Armstrong & Franklin, 2008; Brown & Adler, 2008; Kearns & Frey, 2010). New resources such as blogs, wikis, voice applications, social networking sites, and virtual communities have allowed people with common interests to meet, share ideas, and collaborate in innovative ways (Collis & Moonen, 2008; Greenhow, Robelia & Hughes, 2009). Web 2.0 is creating a participatory medium and culture for user-contributed learning.
