While on the individual level, PLN offers a way to share your knowledge with everyone and develops a supporting system for the students. While diversity in PLN improves the overall system for the students. As, it gives students or the member connected to the particular PLN a great level of intellectual engagement, culture diversity knowledge and a high level of academic skills in terms of writing, problem-solving and critical thinking(Ekoc, 2020). The social media sharing on the PLN helps in understanding the depth of the topic which gives of variety of knowledge to the participants of the whole network. The PLN should have a sense of inclusion in it and treat the value of feedback of every member of the whole group.

Social media sharing can be the main driver in promoting the PLN and bringing the social change that one requires to see in it. However, there are certain requirements of it by which PLN can offer the same. The idea and knowledge shared on the PLN by the participants should be authentic and thoroughly analyzed within the group. In this way, the PLN not only amplifies the voices and views of participants but also engages the community for the idea or social campaign as well. The PLN can also help in the fundraising program for a noble cause and bring the attention of a large number of people towards a particular issue that is prevalent in society.
