(1151) E-LEARNING SUPPORTED BY SOCIAL COMPUTING TOOLS

摘要

Despite social computing has had a rather short history, various approaches to this phenomenonappear. The paper focuses on the project “Tools supporting human sources development“ which dealswith critical analysis and research of social computing tools (i.e. blogs, wikis, Twitter, RSS, instantmessaging, interactive games shared by several players, open-source software development, sharingfiles, social media etc.). They are implemented in the process of e-learning which aims at increasingknowledge of the tools. The added value of the project is the proposal of improving the existing(expensive and of low efficiency) system of education applying mainly face-to-face training. Themethodology is presented which is based on bibliographic search of adequate sources, analysis of thecurrent state and users? activities, on statistic evaluation of the collected data. This process results indesigning the portal which includes both the e-learning and social computing elements, presents thediscovered information both to the system users and system suppliers and defines in which targetfields e-learning based on social computing could be efficiently applied.
