“…These approaches to using Instagram are viable for increasing user engagement and fulfilling HKUL's aim to support teaching and learning at HKU, which was found to be effective using Facebook and other social media (Dong et al, 2021). Further, this approach aligns with Wu and Yang's (2021) finding that the younger generation tends to accept gamification marketing, resulting in higher engagement than event marketing and information sharing strategies for collections promotion.
