"EduTubers": YouTube makes its comeback by promoting its educational videographers

Teachers and YouTubers, a strange mix?

Online courses and the popularization of knowledge by teacher videographers have accelerated thanks to confinement and the establishment of the "tele-school".

A trend that the YouTube video platform has decided to promote, by promoting this content combining education and entertainment.

YouTube educators have even found their name, with the portmanteau word "EduTubers", or "EduTubers" in their original version.

For Justine Ryst, director of Youtube France at the origin of this promotion of "Edutubeurs", this trend was already underway.

"Last year, at the time of the baccalaureate revisions, we observed a 400% increase in views on the content of the revision, in particular the main principles of philosophy, bio and math", she explains.

"With the confinement, professors who were already using videos to supplement their lessons got started on Youtube." 

Julien Tartaglia, co-founder of the YouTube channel "Les Bons Profs", is one of the pioneering teachers on the video platform.

"We mainly offer course reminders, exercise corrections, and videos related to schooling: orientation, ParcoursSup ..." he explains.

"We are adapting to the YouTube format: content of 5 minutes, collected, synthetic and very structured".
