The workplace can be a place of continuous learning and development for the employee. E-learning is expanding beyond the classroom and into the workplace. The purpose of this study was to look into the environmental context of the workplace in determining employee's optimism to use an e-learning system at work. Findings of the study found that success rates of employees using e-learning were heightened by changing their expectancy of different aspects of the experience. The key factors in a successful, organised learning experience at the workplace are support from management, job support, and organisational support.

This paper makes the statement that the future of e-learning is in the use of social media. This paper proposes the use of social media to enhance the experience of e-learning for the student. The e-learning experience can be quite isolating because of the elimination of a teacher being involved in the learning experience. This paper explores the integration of social media into e-learning. The paper looks into how social media could help to replace the social interaction between the teacher and the student and instead have the student interact with others on online communities.

This paper looks into the use of social media in E-Learning. The paper looks into ways that social media can be integrated into e-learning in a healthy and positive way. The concept is put forward of using social media outlets such as blogs or discussion groups as a way for students to develop ideas, work together and help each other out. Social media such as blogs, wiki's Skype, WhatsApp, Google Hangout would be the perfect place for students to generate ideas together. The use of social media could create a support system for the students throughout the e-learning, which in some cases can be missing in e-learning due to the absence of a teacher.

This paper consists of extensive case study investigating the social aspects of e-learning. In the case study, a social support system to e-learning named Topolor, developed at the University of Warwick, was created to explore the topic. Toplolor is a social e-learning site where students can interact with one another and discuss topics. The results of the case study that examines the usefulness and usability demonstrate that the students generally experienced a high level of learning and a high level of user satisfaction with Topolor. This is an example of a successful application of social media into the e-learning experience.
In this paper, a study was carried out on students that examined the importance of social interaction in the e-learning experience. The results of the study found that the learning experience was more effective with the inclusion of social interaction. A learning experience is successful due to the social interaction that comes along with it. It is important that the social aspect of learning is not forgotten or done away with.
