Abstract

This paper shows the integration of social network services into the educational process. The main goal of this paper is the improvement of quality of e-education process through encouraging communication, collaboration and interaction between students and teachers. Students' motivation for involvement in the educational process can be fostered by using Facebook services within the e-education portal. The proposed model of the Facebook services influence on the quality of e-education is based on the analysis of students' attitudes toward e-education, on their achievement and on tracking the web site traffic. The results of the analysis have shown that students who used Facebook for educational purposes had better achievement in comparison with those who used it for fun.
