Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a solution to reduce the dropout rate of students of distance learning platforms, while improving social contact between users. This solution consists of the design and development of a middleware application and a BigBlueButton Moodle plugin allowing access to social networks such as Facebook / Twitter to share information in a controlled environment. This mechanism helped to increase the audience of learners in training module and facilitate learner-learner contact and teacher-learners contact.
