Information technologies incentivizing scholastic fruition

New media and the evolution of web-based communication instruments represent a challenge for the improvement of didactic models. Humanistic Faculties need to include ICT courses to enhance the technological skills of students who seek a better job placement after the University Degree. Moreover, the use of new media represents a strong possibility to reinforce learning in different matters for non-technological courses. This paper shows the results of a web 2.0 technology based teaching and learning model applied to the University courses of the Faculty of Jurisprudence; and the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences (University of Milan) through the analysis of the outcomes that were obtained by the realization of the VideoJournal project, of the related web TV, and of the results of the direct active participation by the students.
