USAGE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING PLATFORMS AS EFFECTIVE TOOL TO ENGAGE THE LEARNERS IN LIFELONG LEARNING :AN EMIRICAL REVISIT TO THE CONTEXT
Keywords:
Lifelong learning, Social networking platforms and Multiple Intelligence.Abstract
The use of social networking platforms (SNPs), in general has an increasing impact on education through the various availabletools in knowledge-based society, although the competences and skill that users acquire are those of non-formal education. SNPs are being used more and more in collaboration with classical teaching methods, also known as the blended learning, in order to provide recognition of skills and competences acquired through the use of these tools. Thus this paper aims to analyse the potential impact that SNPs in general can have on education, on lifelong learning, and how SNPs can further be involved in education, in lifelong learning in the future. This paper focuses on use of SNPs as the medium for collaboration in education. The benefits of SNPs to lifelong learning are twofold. First they provide easy and fast access to relevant information even after formal education. Second they allow keeping social interaction with people having similar professional interest and possibly access to their extended network. As result of the analysis, we shall present various approaches identified in education in lifelong learning with use of SNPs.
