Abstract
The continuous evolution of the Internet has
opened unimaginable opportunities and challenges in web
based education and learning. The traditional version of web
i.e. Web 1.0 started as a Read only medium; the next version
Web 2.0 established itself as Read/Write medium. Now the
currently evolving version of web, viz., Web 3.0 is said to be a
technologically advanced medium which allows the users to
Read/Write/Execute and also allows the machines to carry
out some of the thinking so far expected only from the human
beings. In a short time, Web 2.0 and now Web 3.0 have
created new tools and technologies for facilitating web based
education & learning. To begin with, this paper discusses
some definitions of the Web 3.0, its evolution and
characteristics. Next, we have discussed about the possible
future Web 3.0 technologies, trends, tools and services that
will assist in the areas of online learning, personalization and
knowledge construction powered by the Semantic Web.
