Abstract: Social networks are one of the essential factors that impact the creation of an individual’s social environment. Facebook is especially popular among young people, and they use it, not only for entertainment, but for education purposes as well. It offers a new learning environment and it can be used for online academic discussions between students. The aim of this paper is to present the application of Facebook for education purposes among students at the Technical Faculty in Bor. The determinants analysed in this research are academic purpose, communication, cooperation, and resource/material sharing on Facebook. Each determinant comprises a set of indicators which are used for the analysis of the overall situation. The results indicate that the students have positive attitude about the use of Facebook for educational purposes, and they actively use it as an addition to the traditional learning process.
