Documentation in communication studies: applying web 2.0 tools

We describe a case of implementation in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) for a change of mindset in third-year students taking the Informative Documentation class. Traditionally this area, so important in all the teaching of communication, has been a drag on the learning process of students who don't see it as a versatile and useful subject that will guarantee the quality of their work. For this reason we designed a paired course with Informative and Audiovisual Genres, in the same program. Between the two classes, students completed a final project, a report developed for different media: press, radio and TV. The organization of all of the information and its sources came together in the creation of blogs that stored all of the material as it was collected.
