Summary/Abstract: Information technologies determine changes in learning processes and havea significant impact on the revision of self-education methods. The evolution of this form oflearning requires reflection and research.

The first two issues are based on the results of previous research and literature studies,as well as author's personal observations. To explain the last issue, author presents the resultsof his research in the extent and nature of the use of social media as a tool to support teachingand learning process at primary, junior high/high school and higher education level.
