Abstract

The main objective of this work is to describe a learning innovation experience aimed to improve the student's perception and understanding about statistical applications in the real world through the use of social networks. The experience was carried out with students of bachelor and master’s degrees from the School of Computer Engineering (Universitat Politècnica de València) during the academic course 2015 – 2016. Lecturers involved created a closed Facebook group with the students. By means of the group, teachers shared scientific and informative articles related to the subjects taught, in order to be subsequently commented by the students. Posts (including research on statistical practical cases) were discussed, thereby fostering the participation in a simple, fluent and friendly way by the students.
