Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the learning potential in Social Network-based Education (SNE) versus Project-Led Education (PLE). Analysis is based on data collected through the questionaires responded by students over twelve years of implementation of SNE. The results show that students generally perceived SNE as offering greater learning potential than classical PLE. The preference for SNE was also associated with higher perceived learning and with reported gains in personal growth and entrepreneurship. In this way, introduction of SNE, as an alternative educational methodology, is justified.
