Abstract

This work investigates a collaborative learning experience, developed through the Linkedin social network with undergraduate university students from Communication and Digital Communication. To learn about the activity produced in the network, as well as the skills acquired by the students and their assessment of this task, a double qualitative and quantitative study has been carried out. Respectively, a content analysis spreadsheet and a structured interview have been used as measurement instruments. The results show a high level of participant involvement, who claim to have improved not only their knowledge in social networks, marketing and advertising, but also their skills as digital content curators. In addition, the students found the activity inspiring and consider its application viable in the majority of the modules of their course.
