Abstract

This study was applied within two universities in the western part of Saudi Arabia. The universities intend to implement and apply Web 2.0 tools to help lecturers and faculty enhance teaching and training at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The research was carried out to determine the associated challenges and changes in applying Web 2.0 at two Saudi universities in order to assess the decision of whether or not to adopt such technology. The results demonstrated that lecturers and faculties in the two Saudi universities were willing to accept the new challenges and changes to embrace Web 2.0. Additional results showed their enthusiasm to improve the learning process and to enhance interactions with students.
