CAPTION THIS: AN INSTAGRAM-DRIVEN FLIPPED CLASSROOM APPROACH TO INCREASE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

Fabrizio Fulio Bragoni, Chiara Scuotto, Angelo Mirra, Eleonora Pera

Abstract


The use of new media can help to engage students in traditional lectures, stimulating “a sense of belonging” (Ganjoo et al., 2021). Through its combination of pictures and captions, Instagram allows for a fresh and intriguing way of presenting school subjects contents. With this project we mean to propose the use of Instagram in a flipped classroom context to promote students' motivation and the acquisition of writing skills and didactic contents.
