therefore, each vlog creator must filter video content that is not in line with users' interests.
In other words, vlog creators have to take every precaution about the content of the video, so

that it does not break any laws. If the author does not respect the rules of the community to

which they have distributed the video, the content may be restricted, and if the same action
is repeated, the account may be closed. Finally, vloggers face the problem of not respecting

copyright, risking their material being used in unwanted ways without their permission or
consent. That's why sharing your personal life on the Internet is a strictly personal decision

and carries many risks.

2. Research Methodology

The study aims to identify students' attitudes towards using vlogging as a tool in the

education process. It focuses on identifying the categories of vlog content that students
follow and the frequency with which students follow content posted by vloggers. The three

objectives defined in the research are measured through a sociological survey using a

questionnaire with closed, open and multiple-choice questions. The questionnaire was
distributed online to a sample of students during May-June 2022, and only 218

questionnaires were validated. The main concepts are frequency, vlogger and content
categories, with the following dimensions focusing on attitude measurement: cognitive,

which refers to what students think about the use of vlogging in education; affective, which

focuses on emotions; and behavioural dimension, which measures the intention to use or
practice vlogging.
