A proposed model for assessment of social networking supported learning and its influence on learner behaviour

Including social networking in e-learning platforms enhances and empowers collaboration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge capturing. This new technology brings new learners into the culture of the institutions, the new generation of people is very demanding in terms of development and the use of new technologies for everything in their lives, so to foster the loyalty of younger generation they must be provided with the same kind of technologies they are using in their personal lives. Wherefore, social networking is part of the learning and development processes.
