The focus of this research is technologies used for academic purposes: e-learning system Moodle and social network Elgg. The research took place at the Faculty of Organization and Informatics in Varaždin, University of Zagreb. Initial assumption was that students would rather use some Elgg features then the same or similar Moodle features. The questions were about personal preference and satisfaction in regards to Elgg and Moodle features. One research element was possible integration of social network’s features into e-learning systems. It was interesting to observe the level of integration and how does it impact the communication and work experience.
