One fine learning 2.0 example : javablackbelt.com
I want to share with you what I think is one of the best examples of learning 2.0 that I have encountered this far: javablackbelt.com.It is a Java certification site maintained by a community, and not by a vendor. You can earn belts by taking exams and prove your Java skills in various areas that way, but you can also contribute to the exams with new questions, improve and comment on the current questions, take beta exams, etc.
There is also a commercial aspect to the project: on a separate site companies can use this platform to assess job candidates and freelancers.
I'm really impressed by the initiative, and I'm even more impressed to say it turns out to be a Belgian initiative founded by two former colleagues at IBM Learning Services: John and Nicolas. Well done guys and good luck!
Thank you Geert for pointing this out to me and good luck as a brand new Java consultant.
