Abstract:
This document studies an e-learning process and its possibilities of integration with social networks. E-learning process, its supporting software and social networks are presented exposing the problem of low level of interaction among users in existing e-learning environments. Social networking tools that could improve the interaction among users in e-learning environments are being considered. As a possible solution to increase the interaction among users in e-learning an integration of learning management system with a social networking platform is being proposed. A working demo of the solution proposed closes the paper with the confirmation that integration of social networking platforms and learning management systems is needed and possible in practice.
