This article, which is based on two surveys seeks to offer a reflection on the relationship between social networking sites, Islam and the traditional public space. For several years, the latter has been confronted to the visibility of Islamic dogmas and religious practices. Thus, secularism and the place of religion within this space are questioned as shown by the latest controversies on the wearing of complete veiling, or burkini. On this horizon, certain Muslim citizens who claim to be the subject of discrimination in the offline, space because of their Muslim identity, mobilize the social networking sites to reconstruct editorial spaces of visibility and audibility, which contributes to the widening of borders of the traditional public space.

Given that the most students spend considerable time on social networks, many educational institutions use this habit as a basis for educational purposes. Increasing students’ active participation in learning activities is one of the main goals of education. The purpose of this research was to investigate to what extent crowdvoting techniques can increase students’ participation and interest in the e-learning process. Additionally, we set out to explore social networks as a medium for crowdvoting, contests, and collaboration among students. The research participants included 131 students in the information technologies area of the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade who participated in contest related to their 3D modeling projects. Voting was performed via Facebook. The students voted for particular projects primarily based on the quality of the project itself. Additionally, the competition was an incentive for students to prove themselves to colleagues, but also to provide an opportunity for teamwork, additional engagement, and acquisition of new skills and knowledge. The research results indicate a generally positive attitude among students towards the competition and rewards.
