Aims
New Web technologies and especially social networks enable users to share and
discuss common interests and provide infrastructures for integrating various
user experiences: synchronous and asynchronous communication, game-playing,
sharing links and files. Social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter capture
vast amounts of implicit knowledge, common beliefs, preferences, and
experiences, that could be potentially empower users to learn from each other
and together. The trend of using social networks and social media to deliver
and exchange knowledge could bring a new era of teaching and learning. Unlike a
traditional e-leaning paradigm with pre-defined curriculum and standard
textbooks, social knowledge could be aggregated on demand, just in time, and in
context of engaging challenges from social networks, making learning more
exciting, social and, game-like experience . Therefore, the use of social
computing techniques and social knowledge for e-learning must be further
investigate
d. This special issue focuses on technologies and experiences of using social
networks in e-learning.
