Is Facebook a Similar Learning Tool for University Students as LMS?

Original language description

The study was conducted to examine what university students in the Czech Republic do on their computers during class and leisure time and the extent to which use of information and communication technologies for learning activities. In study a sample of512 students from three Czech universities completed survey measuring their behaviors connected with using computers for their learning. Based on research results we can argue that Facebook is really important for their learning. Students are using bothe-learning courses and Facebook in their learning. 77% of respondents (university students) use Facebook several times a day or practically always. Only 44 participants (9%) stated that they are not members of any study group on Facebook. The use of Facebook and e-learning (course in LMS) for their learning is almost similar.
