Social media: a vice or an educational tool?

Abstract

[Abstract:] This research is a promising starting point for teaching in the university environment and, more specifically, for students in the first years of degrees with a high level of difficulty. It has been shown that social networks combined with other collaborative learning techniques can serve as an incentive and a focus of attraction for newly arrived students, even decreasing the stress that some of them experience with the change linked to university access. The authors want to continue applying and improving this technique in successive years to confirm its goodness and its influence on the success rate of the students.
