TikTok University: Can TikTok be a Tool for Students and Teachers?

EVENT DESCRIPTION
Why might a student or teacher become a TikTok creator? What are the opportunities and risks – professional and personal – of TikTok for grad students, postdocs, professors, and others in higher education? Academics, who have been using Twitter, Facebook, and academia.edu for year, are now increasingly using TikTok for professional purposes.

- How to understand the TikTok platform
