摘要：The concept of Education 3.0 has emerged from the technology-enhanced learning domain, as a results of severalfactors, such as: the technological progress of social media, big data and cloud technologies, virtual reality, sensorytechnologies; the increased importance given to education and to the new forms of education (continuous,competences oriented, collaborative/ social, online); the widespread use of so-called Massive Open Online Courses(MOOCs) or Learning Management Systems (LMS), such as: Moodle, Blackboard, Sakai.The paper presents the analysis of the main challenges of adopting social media information systems (SMISs) inuniversities, by applying the Rogers’s innovation diffusion model on data collected in two online surveys carried outin the framework of the START-SoPI project. The project has aimed to determine the feasibility of pan-Europeansocial media platforms for lifelong learning programs delivered by the universities in the European region ofDanube River.Based upon the results of our study, we conclude that significant challenges exist in adopting and implementingSMISs in universities, which are mainly related to the stakeholders’ perceptions and motivations and to theorganizational culture.
