Abstract: Abstract Chapter 44 explores the intersection of social networks and e-learning, defining social networks as platforms for personal connection and interaction, distinct from the broader scope of social media. Key features include user profiles, friendship connections, content sharing, messaging, and news feeds, exemplified by platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and Instagram. E-learning, facilitated by these networks, utilizes digital technologies to deliver educational content outside traditional classrooms through platforms like Coursera, edX, and LinkedIn Learning. Integration of social networks with e-learning has led to the development of social learning platforms, enhancing collaborative learning experiences with tools for discussion, content sharing, live interaction, and gamification. Technological trends such as AI-driven personalization, gamification, immersive technologies like VR and AR, and the rise of mobile and video-based learning are reshaping educational practices, making learning more accessible, engaging, and effective globally.
