The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to online teaching and learning. While this presented significant challenges for educators and learners, it also illustrated the potential of online platforms, such as social media, to provide inclusive and flexible learning opportunities. Platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Podcasts, and YouTube offer educators an opportunity to connect with learners beyond the classroom and facilitate interactive and diverse learning experiences across geographic and socioeconomic boundaries. By leveraging social media, educators can democratise access to evidence-based information and shape the learning landscape, ultimately contributing to a more equitable education system.
