In this section the e-tivities (online learning activities) for students are grouped into categories according to their potential function. It must be noted that one specific e-tivity may serve various functions and be performed with more than one Web 2.0 tool. Also, more traditional Internet tools like e-mail, instant messaging, forum, chat, and videoconferencing may also be used for the implementation of e-tivities, but the focus of our project was to present ideas and solutions that predominantly use Web 2.0 tools.

Besides this wiki page, more than 30 e-tivities were designed for language learning and tested in classroom by out team member Andreja Kovačić. The e-tivities for language learning were divided into predominantly extensive e-tivities, predominantly intensive e-tivities, and session openers.

The term e-tivity was introduced in a book wtritten by G. Salmon. The e-tivities that are presented here are adapted for the use of Web 2.0 tools and in most cases substantionally redesigned having in mind the e-tivities proposed by Janac et al. (1997) and Iverson (2005).
