Abstract
This research aimed at developing e-poster as learning media, analyzing how students respond to the e-posters uploaded to Instagram. This R&D research utilized an ADDIE model of development consisting of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research took place during even semester at the Department of Chemical Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training, Universitas Syiah Kuala. A total of twenty-four students (4 male and 20 female) who enrolled in the course of "elements and compounds of primary groups" voluntarily took part in the research subjects. We collect the data using the following instruments: A validity assessment form, a questionnaire for students, and an active Instagram account necessary for uploading the contents and monitoring students' activity on the platform. The results show that the validity score of e-posters was 97.5%, and 89 % of students responded positively to the media, and the vast majority of students would prefer to learn using e-posters in the future. The findings indicated that e-posters could contribute as alternative learning media to help students understand the concept of alkali group elements

We developed e-posters posted on Instagram because Instagram is a social media that is currently popularly used by young people, especially students
We revealed the need for an e-poster posted on Instagram based on respondents' requirements and experience in their previous class of primary group elements course
Summary
Abstract characteristics of chemistry such as chemical elements require teachers to be creative in dealing with the learning process by applying various methods and media, including social media. According to Asmara (2015), elemental chemistry subject matter is one part of the concept that has the potential to bore students because it contains conceptual, contextual, descriptive theories or is often referred to as memorization material. Due to the characteristics of the material like this, students are less interested in learning, resulting in low learning outcomes. The learning process carried out in the main class elements and compounds lectures, especially in the alkaline group elements material, is still dominated by PowerPoint media and printed books. Students usually study only in class so that. We developed e-posters posted on Instagram because Instagram is a social media that is currently popularly used by young people, especially students. Instagram posts can be accessed at Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan IPA (JPPIPA)
