Abstract: The paper considers the necessary structure for a Social Education Network needed to suit the demands of contemporary students and educators. Following an Erasmus+Grant, the paper explores the development of the Social Open Learning Environment platform as such a new Social Education Network (SEN) for the modern world. Such tools are progressive mediums for education and are relatively unused in education at present due to methodological issues and the interface of the SEN to manage student and educator demands. Key aspects of the SEN interface need to promote social communication, equality and peer-to-peer sharing of information. The SOLE platform is designed with these concepts in mind and the paper presents the elements of innovation and application of technology to enhance the social educational network experience.
