Abstract

In this paper we are going analyze existing platforms to create online learning communities and so, promoting online learning. These tools are basic for new models of education because the fundamental idea is to reduce the number of hours face-to-face in the classroom and to promote remote individual work. This is the basic idea of the new European models given by the Bologna process. Then, from a previous study, we are going to expound the most popular platforms and we are going to give the details of their features and main differences between them. In the last part of the paper, we will show the study we have done about this type of educational social software. This study involves a questionnaire to some lecturers of our university, Polytechnic University of Valencia. Our analysis presents most important results.
