Abstract
This chapter focuses on an innovative learning project in which undergraduate marketing students create videos and post them on the official YouTube channel of the course. The project aims to apply new information technologies to university teaching, use social networks to disseminate information and knowledge, and provide students with a more active role in their learning process. We offer an overall vision to enable the appropriate application of this project and analyze students’ perceptions and satisfaction with the activity; we also offer a tool (e.g., rubric) to objectively evaluate the video content. The results of the first study show that students’ satisfaction with the activity is high and is affected by the emotions it generates, its perceived usefulness, and its ease of use. In a second study, we observe that the students are satisfied with the activity’s evaluation rubric, because it is a simple evaluation system and serves to guarantee an objective and consistent evaluation. The description of the project and discussion of the research findings will help academics to understand the key drivers of a satisfactory experience by students. It also provides scholars with advice on how to implement educational networking in their subjects.

I think that the development this activity has been correct. I am satisfied with the development of the activity. In general terms, I am satisfied with this activity. Behavioral intentions (Belanche, Casaló & Flavián, 2010) If I had to carry out a similar activity voluntarily in the future, I would have the intention to do it. I think that I will recommend other students to carry out this activity. Note: For the sake of simplicity, we only provide the items for the final questionnaire regarding perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, interactivity, and subjective learning. The same items were used in the first questionnaire, at the beginning of the semester, to measure the students’ expectations toward the activity. Instead of using “I think that carrying out the YouTube activity has been… (present perfect tense),” we worded “I expect the YouTube activity to be… (present simple tense).”
