Traditional lecturing and classroom-based education is challenged by learning environments which are relying on information technology. Today there are plenty of new tools and applications that can empower the learning process. This study looks at the digital learning environment of a university, the use of technologies and applications in learning. where students are working in groups. The results of a questionnaire indicate that university’s learning platform and social media applications are both used in learning. While the learning platform is used for material storage and general information delivery, social media applications are used in interaction between students, in ways defined by students. For further research, including students from other universities and teaching staff would give a wider perspective on directions where the learning platform should be developed.
