"Social media platforms are widely popular, and leveraging them for active learning and interaction opportunities in online courses is not a new concept. However, generational groups engage with specific platforms differently. As of March 2023, TikTok has surpassed 150 million users in the United States alone and is particularly popular with Generation Z users. This session will answer the following questions:

Why is this video style so appealing and what is the theory behind its impact?

How can you create "TikTok Style" microlearning videos for your students?

What are the best practices for creating an assignment incorporating TikTok?

What are possible concerns and considerations when using or assigning TikTok videos?

What are alternative technology platforms you can leverage to create similar videos?

The session will conclude with a case study highlighting how TikTok was incorporated into an ENG 101 course.
