abstract = {Nowadays we witness a move towards learner centered education, primarily supported by a combination of distance learning methodologies and educational technologies. Among the latter, social media, which refers to technologies that can facilitate social interaction, collaboration and deliberation, show a continuously growing popularity (Bryer & Zavattaro, 2011). Examples of social media include wikis, blogs and social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and virtual worlds like Second Life (Hu & Johnson, 2011). These environments are used to complement the tele-conferencing systems that were used in the previous decade to support collaboration and engagement.

This paper presents the collaboration environments used by the academic community of Hellenic Open University, focusing on wikis and tele-conferencing. Our aim is to use them to create a student-centered collaborative learning environment, keeping in mind that simply making an empty wiki available to online adult students is not enough (Mindel & Verma, 2006). For this reason, we also discuss our approach (Learning Design cycle) towards developing digital educational content for the courses offered by HOU. },
