Moreover, the coming of the World Wide Web in 1992 expanded accessibility to online education and emergence of new pedagogical methods. Today, one of the most instrumental tools utilised in online education is YouTube. The rise of YouTube as a significant platform for educational content has fundamentally altered the landscape of learning, moving beyond traditional institutional settings. The study will examine the paradigm shift in online education, focusing on the transformative role of YouTube as a social media platform. It will strive to explore how YouTube’s accessibility and diverse content offerings have democratized access to education, impacting learning methodologies and student engagement. The research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolving relationship between technology, education, and social media, specifically focusing on YouTube as an indispensable platform of online education.
