Abstract
Abstract—In the world today, education has shown to be a major
contributing factor to human and national development. The
educational system developed in the last century has moved from
traditional system to e-learning on static web and recently to
dynamic web. With the advent of social network on the Internet,
interaction has been encouraged round the world and the method
of connecting everyone in the world is now so easy. Although
there are various platforms that exist as social network, few of
them integrate learning functionalities as a service. This paper
provides a social network platform to enhance educational
learning. The social network was designed using Unified
modeling Language (UML) and implemented using open source
software primarily to connect students and lecturer. The system
extends the integration in the classroom further and thus, makes
the learning process effective.
