• 1. The freedom to select tools for learning and related communication facilitates learning
• ??
• I selected freely skype. I was happy for it.
• Very important that you can use your own selection of tools that you are used to work with!
• Many students like blogging, chating and other social software using. However, many students like just discussing in forums or communicating with teacher by e-mail. Therefore they must have possibility to choose the tools that they want.
• Every individual, as the tutor so as the learner, has a distinct set of characteristics, thus has different needs and prefer different methods of learning. If the freedom is offered to choose, there are much higher chances that everyone participating will have an opportunity to experience a smooth learning process.
• No comment
• lots of them
• Learning can be customized to your needs
• I think is very important to have a choice to select tools
• It's good that we can choice
• we had all the freedom we needed
• You can search and chose exactly what you need to know (or learn). Further more, you can interact with other people who are interested in the same domain so it's a chance of changing experiences.
• Forum
• yes
• I would wish to have the possibility to chose between more tools for learning.
• the freedom to select what tool we want to communicate with other people is very important and beneficial for all
• I agree with this but not 100%. I prefer to work with a tool I already know, but sometimes if new tool/tools are given me to work with I might be surprised how well I'm doing it with that tool/tools. Having to work with tools I have not used before can make me to like them and to rank them between my favorites in the future.
• N/A
• Good.
• I think it's very important for a person to have the freedom to choose everything that can be useful to him. Especially when talking about learning.
• I consider the results to be more important than method used. So i don't really care about the communication methods.
• It is an important freedom in order to stimulate students in learning what the really want to.
• didn't get a chance to explore all features
• I stongly belive that the freedom to select tools for learning and related communication facilitates learning.
• The freedom to choose your own method/tool in order to learn and communicate is important because each person has its own preferences and capabilities related to learning, and so the learning process is easier
• instant messaging represents a very useful tool

• 2. Students freedom to select social networks facilitates learning
• depending on what resources they have at home.
• Important
• As in the previous answer, every individual, tutor and learner, has a distinct set of characteristics and the possibility to freely choose what is preferred by either of them promises better quality of the learning process.
• Every must have right to choise
• No comment
• big
• Useful information can be obtained faster and more concentrated - in one place
• Social network are important and it's good that there is freedom
• it's important to use the social network that "fits" the students knowledge
• It's true because the students can chose some social networks coresponding to their need of information in certain activities.
• I agree on that
• Freedom to select social networks facilitates learning not just for students, but for all people. Choosing a social network that best suits a persons inclinations makes learning very much easier.
• yes
• the social networks facilitates the work of the students
• If all the group memebers are having a common social network, it is better to use that one. So, you can get to know them better, from their pictures & comments received, from their friends list.... etc. But not always the group members are using a common one, so is nothing bad to join a new social network. You may like it!
• Thanks to blogs we saw different opinions about social media
• N/A
• We had freedom.
• I consider that a face-to-face meeting and working would have been better than online work.
• Provides us the chance of 'touching the future', as in easier communication, faster acces to information and so on.
• I agree with this because for someone it's easier to use a way to communicate and learn and other people are more familiar with other tools.
• Social networks are born from the interest of people who confront themselves with specific issues and wish to collaborate with peers from the same field in order to devise a solution quickly.Students are most likely to benefit from being part of social networks.
• i think one should choose the social network that he is most familiar with

• 3. Digital campus facilitates learning related social networking of students and teachers
• There is better and more common social networks already.
• Help is near, when you need to ask something.
• In a sense it facilitates as students of one course or one groupe become members of one social network
• Digital campus, a real campus, or a video conference if you will, is only an emulation of the traditional ways of learning. However, if the campus is implemented as a Wiki or a blog, that is a different thing. There should be a constant point of reference and not only for any one particular subject, but for the hole course so to speak. Student should know where he/she will always find the latest relevant information of a course, but not a place as a virtual classroom. Discussions should happen only about issues which are banded with some particular task and in a forum like fashion. Learning material -- presented as Wiki pages or blog entries.
• All IT facilitates learning and communication
• No comment
• no longer the distance and time limitations
• it facilitates learning because we don't have to be all together at the same time
• Probably that can contribute to a closer colaboration betwen students and teachers.
• That'a a good ideea.
• Bringing people together in the same room for a certain discussion is most of the times hard. Being a part of this digital campus has been a very fruitful experience for me. While working on my projects i had questions that if it weren't for the forums would have took a lot more time to find answers to.
• yes
• it is nice and good but we actually don't have digital campus or if it exists isn't use like it should
• I agree with this. It is easier, both student and teacher, to send a message, a question, a new deadline...etc in stead of announces at school.
• Feedback from the teacher is helpful during the semester, since it provides guidelines for future activity and successful cooperation.
• Easier way of learning for students and monitorising for teachers
• it helps teachers and students to cooperate better

• 4. Possibility to create social networks with the students studuing in various fields enhances learning results.
• When we have choised the social network, we all use the same and help and people are finded easily together.
• This approach could have the effects of both polarities. I agree that the one course’s students, even if they have an opportunity to choose a few different subjects, should find all the relevant information at the one place, but disagree that various fields -- various courses would be integrated at the same spot. The following would increase chaos in information, which in turn would potentially significantly diminish its quality and intentions. Thought, creating an asymmetric collaboration path for example between national language specialists and engineers, where the former would have a lower footprint, would be definitely beneficial.
• It's very important that students could create new networks, because in this way they can communicate with much more people
• No comment
• they can easily find the information sharing between
• Yes, the student must be highly motivated and disciplined.
• I don't agree with this statement
• Of course, everyone have something to learn from the others.
• I believe that the sharing of ideas, that takes place on the forums, blogs and so on, is the motor that drives progress.
• yes
• it is interesting to share information and to compare results with other students. i like the idea
• For me a social network represents a group of people sharing something in common. Why wouldn't this be a social network? We have many things in common!
• I did not experience this specific aspect profoundly enough with Vicadis.
• Students are able to communicate no matter where they are and they are able to work in groups at projects that normally would envolve a meeting.
• no comment
• Students can help themselves very easily. As we all know each of us is studying in a desired field and we can't have all the knowledge we need so partnership with other students from different fields is a plus.
• Every student is knowledgeable in his field.By interacting with other students he may share his knowledge and learn from various opinions and ideas.
• the students like this type of learning
