Sažetak
Introduction of Web 2.0 paradigm that changed the roles of Internet users in dissemination of information online. From the point of the learning processes, the way people learn has evolved from a mostly passive to a more active process thus making the transition form e-learning to e-learning 2.0. The new paradigm changes roles of participants in the learning process but also it changes the quantity and quality of the learning resources. As Internet users engage in creation and publication of new information, the quantity of available information becomes unmanageable. The need to verify and summarize information as learning resource becomes eminent. Also alternative presentation styles of information and knowledge need to be introduced in order to put this information into a manageable perspective. Goal of this paper is to present a possibly the most versatile solution to this problem called mashups. Mashups allow users to retrieve or extract the information they find useful using a number of possible presentation styles including multimedia. In this way they can select relevant facts from numerous resources and creating a new more useful resource for learning. In this paper we will present some of the mashups that are used as additional learning resources for students in courses at the Faculty of Economics and Business University of Zagreb, presenting the advantages they bring to the learning process and some of the new challenges.
