SOCIAL NETWORKS IN E-LEARNING Augusto Bernuy Facultad de Ingeniería y Arquitectura, Universidad de San Martin de Porres Lima, Perú abernuya@usmp.pe* ABSTRACT The paper presents the new ways in order to improve learning process in distance education (“e-learning”) in the universities. We show the collaborative model designed in last research and the new ideas in order to complete the logical structure and new design to help process learning. The experience indicates that to obtain good results we should evaluate the differences between the criteria of the professor and the criteria of the student about: the educative aspects, the user reaction (in each perspective), the reading aspects (in the student) and complementary material. Thus, collaboration and quality are managed when the learning process is based on design, the designer, the professor, participation level, student profile and his characteristics, the motivations and evaluations. We will need continuous reflection and evaluation for the organizations and the structured learning programs, looking for educative yield and productive development. The paper is a contribution to work with human collaboration for the information society. KEYWORDS Collaborative e-learning, Social Network 1. INTRODUCTION Our approach is that the student can learn to identify moral, ethical and human questions that definitively always have been present in learning [7]. We looked for the center of the learning process in the students, and human collaboration with its environment. Many things can be reused and improved to construct learning examples in different disciplines, in order to promote collaboration among students. The learning atmospheres must to adapt to behavior of the students, motivating collaborative work and the construction of social activity networks. For each process we must explore social and cultural interchanges, new ways of collaboration, in freedom and with ethical responsibility. Now we need systems that to provide intelligence in order to facilitate and management the learning activities of students, the collaboration among students, the interactions among students, teachers and the learning objects, and in the goal of our research is gives us a new model and new way to improve the collaboration between the most important parts of the process learning: the students. 2. COLLABORATIVE LEARNING We are looking for process learning, and models of e-learning and collaborative learning. 2.1 Learning process in e-learning The student must be included as the center of process learning, and the human collaboration as the fundamental support for the awaited success. "The Virtual University term would have to include a systemic concept" [8], where it is possible to capture knowledge, research, develop projects, supply society solutions, participate in forums, diverse problems, specialized events, scientific events, cultural events, etc. The first problem is human contact needs; people need to be in contact with other people, to share with them their activities, which mean to share their problems, hopes, activities and solutions.
