This paper presents the outcome of an action research project designed to develop a new pedagogical approach named Curriculum 2.0, after DiNucci's Web 2.0. The project was motivated by recent developments in translation and interpreting (T/I) teaching methods and by a vision to promote a genuine student-centred pedagogy based on the crowd creation and cloud-based storage/use of students' material, especially multimedia content. Through continuous reflection and experiments, the project team identified issues that were addressed through tailored actions until the new content was institutionalised and routines were built to enable its use for learning and teaching purposes. The various issues, actions and subsequent outcomes are discussed in detail in this paper.
