Abstract

This objective of this chapter is to examine the impact of Web 2.0 on the doctoral program. PhD students face different challenges relative to doctoral students of even a decade ago. This chapter deals with the challenges the students face with particular emphasis on the challenges posed by the necessity to deal intensely with electronic research and to collaborate in an electronic based environment. The characteristics of present day doctoral students (referred to as generation of Gen Y, i.e., those born between 1982 and 2000) are discussed. This chapter then deals with the five key forces that drive Web 2.0. The chapter proceeds to provide an overview of how these forces impact and impinge on the process of going through a doctoral program. The author develops a matrix of which aspects of Web 2.0 PhD students need to be conversant with at each stage of the doctoral program. Illustrative examples are provided for clarification on the issues discussed.
