Cover Story: Information and communication technologies are transforming modern education into more available learning matrix. One of the unexplored aspects of open education is the constant communicative interaction within the student group through use of social media. Netnography is the main research method defining the essence and characteristics of this student-led peer communication. Elaborated visual model can serve as a simple tool for diagnosing group communication processes. We revealed that online group chats perform a support function in learning. They provide a constant informational resource for educational and organizational issues and create emotional comfort. Identified features serve to define shortcomings (e.g., lack of students’ readiness to freely exchange answers to assignments) and significant factors that exist in the modern system of higher education.
