InstaLearn is a project for implementing a teaching methodology that uses Instagram and its content format to convey educational content aimed at enhancing the learning experience of all students, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and combating university dropout rates. Based on neuroscientific evidence, it leverages the release of dopamine during social media use to offer a methodology capable of enhancing learning processes and, therefore, performance. The project involves five work packages to achieve the set objectives. WP1 manages and monitors all project activities. WP2 deals with research on dopamine release related to Instagram use. WP3 trains teachers and develops educational reels. WP4 experiments with InstaLearn, while WP5 manages dissemination and communication. Key activities include neuroscientific research, teacher training, and educational experimentation. InstaLearn aims to contribute to scientific research on dopamine release during Instagram use, aiming to outline a methodology that enhances students' learning processes. In overall outcomes, the project aims to combat dropout rates by adopting an innovative and inclusive approach, promoting digital skills, and creating a culturally sensitive and inclusive learning environment.
