The document discusses integrating social networking features like Facebook into virtual learning environments. It proposes a system where students can authenticate with Facebook to access virtual classrooms and collaborate on group projects. The system would allow importing Facebook profiles and comments into virtual discussions. Diagrams show how the social and virtual components would connect and how data would flow between the systems. User studies found students had mixed opinions on using social media and virtual worlds for education.
