Abstract:
LinkedIn, traditionally recognized as a professional networking platform, offers potential for enhancing university education. By incorporating LinkedIn into academic practices, students can actively engage in creating and sharing content related to their lessons, fostering a culture of collaborative learning and professional growth. Students can generate posts summarizing their coursework, creating reviews of class materials. They can explore resources shared by industry professionals, gaining insights that extend beyond the classroom. Writing articles on LinkedIn allows students to delve deeper into topics of interest, improving their research and communication skills while building an online professional presence. Additionally, by posting about university seminars and discussions, students can connect with a broader audience, encouraging knowledge exchange and networking. This integration not only complements traditional learning methods but also prepares students for the professional world by enhancing their digital literacy, critical thinking, and ability to articulate ideas in a professional environment.Keywords:
