Abstract

ELIN (European Languages Virtual Network) is a European Union Lifelong Learning Programme Project aimed at creating an informal social network to support and facilitate languages learning, this social environment is so called MyElvin. This social platform allows a very interesting combination of formal and informal learning activities. The research work behind this project aims to research and develop the connection between social networks, professional profiles and language learning in an informal educational context. At the core of the ELVIN project, there will be a web 2.0 social networking platform, MyElvin that connects employees/students for language practice based on their own professional/academic needs and abilities, using all relevant technologies. This paper presents the first system prototype that integrates social media and content repository.
