Microlearning & Short-Form Video: Engaging Today’s Learners in New Ways – WEBINAR

What began as a short TikTok video introduction for an African American Studies course quickly evolved into a viral educational movement. In this webinar, Dr. Leah Barlow shares the story of HillmanTok University, a grassroots initiative where Black educators use short-form video to offer free, accessible learning on topics from Black history to wellness and personal finance. With over 4 million views and a rapidly growing digital community, HillmanTok exemplifies the power of microlearning to reach and engage broad audiences. Dr. Barlow will explore the implications for inclusive education, digital pedagogy, and the future of culturally responsive teaching. Whether you’re a content creator, educator, or lifelong learner, this session will offer fresh perspectives on harnessing the potential of social media for impactful education.
