Abstract
The emergence of collaborative culture is one of the main features of social networks in the present era. Because of the nature of their physical design, they encourage the creation of collaborative content in order to share it to an unknown audience. The use of social media tools in education and distance education under pedagogical conditions, can contribute to the cultivation of critical cognitive and social skills.
The aim of the paper is to present an integrated social network that will be adapted to the needs of distance learning methodology. This social network was designed and implemented by The E-learning lab of the University of Crete. [www.edivea.org]
