Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to examine the attitudes of Thai higher education students towards eLearning incorporating social network sites using an online self-administered survey and standard statistical analysis. This online survey resulted in 389 valid responses. The attitude towards using eLearning on social network sites was positive. The research found a statistically significant difference in the attitudes of both genders with the Thai males scoring higher than the Thai females though both were positive. There was a statistically significant difference in attitude for participants who had varied experiences using eLearning. Participants who were experienced in both formal and informal eLearning formats showed a more positive attitude towards eLearning on social network sites as opposed to participants who used either formal or informal eLearning formats only. This research findings shed light on a disruption to learning management systems in the era of social networking with implications beyond Thailand.
