In the era of the digital revolution, YouTube has grown to become one of the largest and most popular educational platforms in the world. With its wide reach, flexible format, and high visual appeal, YouTube is able to become an effective and engaging learning medium, both for students, college students, and the general public. Today, many teachers, lecturers, and educators have utilized YouTube as a medium to share knowledge, deliver learning materials, and build digital learning communities.

The phenomenon of “TeachTubers”, a term for educators who actively create learning content on YouTube, is a reflection of the shifting ways of learning and teaching in the modern era. TeachTubers not only act as content deliverers, but also as digital creators who bring meaningful, inspiring learning and reach a wider audience. Many of them have even managed to develop economically productive educational channels, making learning content a means of education as well as strengthening professional independence.

Seeing this development, EIC FKIP Universitas Terbuka organized the TeachTuber Competition as a forum for appreciation and creativity development for students, especially prospective educators, to actively contribute in producing quality and wide- reaching learning videos. Through this competition, participants are invited not only to compile material academically, but also to develop their own learning videos.
