摘要：AbstractWeb 2.0 is about revolutionary new ways of creating, collaborating, editing and sharing user-generated content on-line. In this paper we present the first attempt to use them at teaching “Linear Programming” in the “Degree of Mathematics” at the University of Murcia (Spain). According to its syllabus, the student must learn to model real-life problems as linear optimization problems, solve them using some software package and perform sensitivity analysis. To this aim, a set of problems/projects are offered to the students, to work on individually and in groups. To carry out the formulation of those problems, the use of a blog is proposed. The teacher starts the blog by assigning a project to each group of students and giving the problem statement. Then, the students discuss how to formulate it by posting their ideas in the blog. The teacher can supervise the solution process and give hints if necessary. Once the problem has been formulated and the teacher has given its approval, the students can proceed to its implementation in a modelling language. As the use of the modelling language is new for the students, a wiki is proposed to develop a FAQ: some students post questions/doubts in the wiki, and other students can give an answer to those questions, or correct/revise the existing answers.
