ABSTRACT: The main objective of this article is to adapt the Vwiki, tool proposed by our research laboratory, as a solution to the submergence of obsolete, unstructured wikis with wrong contents that are spreading through the web. Thus is for the e- leraning environment purpose. Due to the mechanism of the content validation by pairs, such as Wikipedia, and the dynamic evaluation by the community after the publication of the its content, the Vwiki is proposed as a collaborative educational tool 2.0 , which is centered on the learner and supervised by the teacher. For realizing a collaborative course, learners will create the collaborative contents, the teacher will play the role of the content validators, while the tutor will represent the monitoring committee of the publication and will be in charge of the course process publication from the creation of the information until its final disposal or archive. In this context, we propose a collaborative strategy 2.0 to adopt as a tool for the E-learning. Thus will provide a formal and collaborative education project at lower costs that provides collaborative courses and takes advantage of not only the collective intelligence, but also of the community and content evaluation by the learners. KEYWORDS: Web 2.0, Vwiki, learning, participation, collaboration. 1 INTRODUCTION Since its appearance in 2005, Web 2.0 has suggested a new vision of the web that considers the user as a potential actor and producer of the web content rather than a simple consumer of information [7]-[8]. This fundamental change has significantly not only increased the range of information, but it has also facilitated the collaboration and the involvement practices as well. It has also enables users to produce, communicate, share information, and collaboratively edit online knowledge content [6]. In this context, the web has become a free platform of tools and services for publication, information sharing, collaboration and communication between users regardless of Geographic locations. It has also involved users in various fields such as education and collaborative learning. Due to its simplicity, openness and wide usage especially by the young people, Web 2.0 has provided a new wave of informal learning which is closed to a social network and where users interact, learn together and articulate around an area of interest. Furthermore, Web 2.0 can be used by learners to complement formal learning experiences [2]. This new educational approach reinforces the user’s position and creates a dynamic community. It also enables migration from the transmissive and the unidirectional media to a community and
