Abstract: Despite the fact that online social networks (OSN) are widely recognized as a powerful vector for adding a new social dimension to the learning management systems (LMS), OSNs do not fully integrate the specific features of the learning process yet. In this paper, we report the design and implementation of a software platform that leverages on the basic capabilities of an OSN and extends the functionality toward its use in education. It does so by the embedding of a variety of collaborative activities of informal nature, jointly with tailored assessment procedures and an associated reputation system for the users. The latter is essential in order to foster the students’ engagement and improve their learning performance. This software system, though still work in progress, has been in use for two years in different subject areas. The outcomes and the feedback provided both by teachers and students are encouraging.
