Abstract
Social networks have risen to prominence over the last years as the predominant form of electronic interaction between individuals. In an attempt to harness the power of the large user base which they have managed to attract, this study proposes an e-learning prototype which integrates concepts of the social and semantic web. A selected set of services are deployed which have been scientifically proven to positively impact the learning process of users via electronic means. The integrability of these services into a social network platform application is visualized through an exploratory prototype. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is developed to implement these key features is in alignment with User-Centered principles. The designed prototype proves that a number of services can be integrated in a user-friendly application and can potentially serve to gain feedback regarding…
