Abstract

social media has become an essential component of academic learning, especially among university students. Its benefits for increasing participation and knowledge acquisition are widely established, but more research is required to determine which platforms health science students prefer and what barriers they face. Thus, this study seeks to assess students’ preferences for social media for academic reasons, as well as the perceived advantages and difficulties of using it.
