Abstract

Nowadays, Instagram and YouTube are becoming one of the biggest spaces for interrelation between people, specially between younger generations of the population. Nevertheless, there are few investigations based on the influence it can have on education, a reality that has come to stay and that cannot be ignored. With this research, this virtual environment has been addressed, dealing whit its analysis from an educational perspective, and taking as a reference four educational accounts on Instagram and four educational YouTube channels, whose educational quality has been determined through the curricular, pedagogical, didactic, technical, aesthetic, expressive aspects and their accessibility. In addition, the characteristics of these accounts and the edugramers and edutubers that manage them have been determined. When analyzing this reality, a mixed methodology has been used. For this, the methodological instruments that have been used throughout the research are the observation scale and the semi-structured interviews to an edugramer and two edutubers. The results show a great variety of educational accounts of quality in all aspects within the Instagram and YouTube platforms, as well as a series of common characteristics in these social media and a series of peculiarities shared by the educational instagramers and youtubers that manage these cyberspaces.

The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants.

Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
