Abstract

Edmodo is a platform combining social networking and learning. It provides functionality addressed to tutors, students, and parents of young students. It attempts to exploit the popularity of social networking and tailor it to the needs of education. Access to Edmodo functionality is freely available. Open educational resources involving various subjects and different languages are available within Edmodo. Edmodo users may search for and retrieve such resources. Many learning approaches using Edmodo have been implemented in school education. The results are positive in various aspects. This chapter surveys approaches using Edmodo in school education. The survey focuses on the most recent approaches. The research results are analyzed. An important result that has been derived from several approaches is the improvement in learning. The surveyed approaches generally demonstrate the usefulness of Edmodo in school education. Furthermore, social learning platforms may be used to disseminate open educational resources and integrate them in school education practices. © 2020, IGI Global.
