This paper aims to construct a social network among e-learning learners on the basis of the location information of the learner and the instructor obtained using GPS sensors, etc. For this, we suggest a system that supports the construction of a social education network service using the location information of the smart-phone in e-learning. This system provides a mechanism to form a social network service among students who take the same on-line course or have similar interests. Through this system, e-learners can create communities for learning and exchange help among them. The support of a location based social network service in our system would increase interactions among e-learners and improve satisfaction regarding their mobile learning environment. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
