Abstract
This contribution describes the work carried out by the members of the Juxtalearn project on the design and implementation of a platform based on social networks for educational purposes. To discover the strengths and weaknesses of the platform, an initial prototype was developed and tested with students from the Higher Technical School of Computer Engineering of the URJC. The main objective of the experience was to know the satisfaction of use of the students when they used it as a tool for communication, discussion and dissemination during the process of creating videos. Here we present the results obtained from this work.
