Abstract
Through this study, we present a framework to easily develop Social Media posts to enhance Educational experiences. The framework is validated with a study case including students from different engineering majors, seniorities and courses, who were invited to follow optionally an Instagram account where diverse content related to their specific syllabus was published throughout the sixteen weeks that the courses lasted, and was available only for 24 h. Results were cross-compared with a few Kahoot! quizzes with no negative impact on their grades, in order to validate if the posts designed with the framework helped those students who watched them.
