Embedding Web 2.0 in learning processes has extended learning from traditional based learning-centred to a collaborative based learning-centred institution that emphasises learning anywhere and anytime. While deploying Semantic Web into e-learning offers a broader spectrum of pervasive knowledge acquisition to enrich users' experience in learning. In conventional learning practices, a student is perceived as a recipient of information and knowledge. However, nowadays many institutions involve students in learning processes that play an active role in improving collaborative learning platform and knowledge sharing as well as participation. For education provider, choosing a collaborative learning platform is becoming more important than choosing a tool in the new paradigm. Implementing collaborative learning through Web 2.0 is attributed to e-learning 2.0 as an approach for an online learning solution. Researchers have employed contents analysis for reviewing literatures in peer-reviewed journals. In fact, researchers found e-learning 2.0 is not only addressing the need redefining technologies like cloud computing in e-learning but also the need of redefining value added through pervasive knowledge generated from Semantic Web and Social networks. E-learning 2.0 can be a solution to make learning systems in a higher education is flexible in terms of resources adoption, pervasive knowledge acquisition, and cloud computing implementation.
