Social media platforms – as it is known – have the lion's share of the modern digital world, as they are a source of knowledge that cannot be ignored, as they have become a primary destination for science providers to spread their knowledge in audio and video.
In the past decades, when a scholar or researcher wanted to verify a specific information and its source, there was no way for him but to dive into the depths of books and references, which may require a great effort to read many of them in order to verify the information and transfer it to others, and this process takes a long time to complete.
In the era of digital progress, social media platforms are classified within the sectors of e-learning, as education strategies at the present time require keeping pace with digital speed through the optimal use of educational platforms. The search for information has become faster than ever before, and the time that a person needs to acquire knowledge does not Only short moments, so all social media platforms have always enriched educational and knowledge content in ideal ways and through multiple media; audio, visual, or both.
And when talking about harnessing social platforms to acquire science; It is not possible to overlook the employment of artificial intelligence by the developers of these platforms, as it classifies science according to activities and interests, and in turn focuses on serving specialists, each in its field, and the “YouTube” platform is the closest example, when a person searches for specific information, the search results include all possible and similar solutions. And the research proposals lead to multiple solutions to other problems, from one to another and another… and so on.
And just as crises create solutions for the future, a complete and smooth transition in the course of the educational process in its various stages has clearly begun in the countries of the world in general, and in Saudi Arabia in particular. With the start of “Covid-19”, the digital transformation of education took only a record period, in which all fields of knowledge varied, Multiple platforms have been established with great advantages, easier performance and speed in receiving and dealing with lessons and lectures, in addition to providing many channels on social networks to save information and make it available at any time throughout the day, contributing to interest in individual education, and shortening distances by connecting all learners from around the world. with a specific educational institution, therefore; It is true to say that social networks will lead the knowledge revolution now and in the future.
