Naslov predavanja: BLENDING CROWDVOTING IN MODERN E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Apstrakt: Given that the most students spend a lot of their time on social networks, many educational institutions use this habit for educational purposes. Increasing students’ participation in educational activities is certainly one of the main goals of academia. The purpose of this research was to investigate to what extent crowdvoting techniques can increase students` participation and interest in the e-learning process. Additionally, we set to explore social networks as a medium for crowdvoting, contest and collaboration among students. The research included 131 students in the area of information technologies at Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade that participated in contest related to their 3D modeling projects. Voting was performed via Facebook. The research results indicate a generally positive students’ attitude towards the competition and rewards. The students voted for the particular projects primarily based on the quality of the project itself, and not based on acquaintance with the candidate. Additionally, the competition was an incentive for students to prove themselves to colleagues, but also to provide them with the opportunity for teamwork, additional engagement, and acquisition of new skills and knowledge.
