Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the development, documentation and best use of a social networking tool to create a Web-based Social Networking Educational System aimed at the implementation of a training program designed along the lines of instructional design and deploying diverse teaching models available in relevant literature. For trainees to experience a real-life problem, an educational scenario has been devised, constituting the central theme of the training program throughout which participants are encouraged to receive training and act with different roles. The results derived from the evaluation of the training program are, finally, presented and discussed.
