This thesis is about cooperation in online education, commonly known as eLearning. It briefly covers the evolvement of distance education - from correspondence learning to eLearning as we know it today, with the added benefits and restrictions this gives the students. The possibilities the new web 2.0 gives the students creates new trends and is changing the way we create and use information. This is why we need to research and understand this phenomenon. The research question to answer in this thesis was “How can web 2.0 be used to improve cooperation between eLearners?” Respondents gave their opinions on which services could enhance their learning and how they used the web to communicate. Results show that most of the students want to meet their collaborators face-to-face. If this is not an option, collaboration was based on common courses and impressions from the students’ profiles. Social network services are very popular and Facebook is in a league of its own.
