"Web 2.0" content refers to video and multimedia features that are integrated into a to provide users with a richer web experience. Please comment about the statements below: Web 2.0 features such as Videos and Multimedia content featured on the Stanford Anesthesia provide important information about a residency program that are hard to convey in other ways (e.g. through text or photos). I feel I have a better understanding of the people and environment at Stanford after viewing the Web 2.0 content. Stanford's new represents a new approach to providing information to resident applicants. 15. Please comment on these additional statements about Web 2.0 content: Web 2.0 content is invaluable to resident applicants and should be integrated into all anesthesia applicant s. Most resident applicant s I visited already do a satisfactory job integrating Web 2.0 videos and multimedia. Most resident applicant s provide complete information about a program and do not need improvement. Web 2.0 videos and multimedia content are not necessary and do not provide information that is useful in guiding decisions about the anesthesia residency application 6 of 10 9/23/10 12:25 PM
