Other social media platforms such as Edmodo (Kesuma et al, 2023), Instagram (Gómez-Ortiz et al, 2023, Little Red Book ("Xiaohongshu" in Chinese), and Tandem can work as educational tools as well. Research could continue to examine more online learning platforms and their characteristics in improving interactions among users and their academic performance, and to apply structural equation models to develop more theoretical frameworks in the field of online learning.…”
