Prof. Hashini Mohottala
An Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Hartford. Among others, she teaches the Mechanics of the Human Body course . She came up with this idea of creating short Tik-Tok videos, that are called Phys-TikToks to reach her students and make learning Physics a fun activity. This is not just a tool that she uses in the class, but also a part of her ongoing pedagogical research.
