Teaching, in under a minute.
Short Video Instructor is about short-form teaching videos built for the platforms students already scroll, TikTok, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, SnackVideo, LinkedIn, or any digital platform that fits. The category asks instructors to deliver knowledge creatively and interactively, online, in the format their learners reach for every day.
What this category is for.
It pushes creativity and innovation in teaching and learning through a digital-first approach, and it builds the communication and digital and AI literacy that the wider TVET community increasingly runs on.
Entering is also a way to share your best teaching practice as a reference others can learn from, turning a single short video into something the whole TVET community can pick up and adapt.
Eligibility and the one category rule.
Entry follows the general MIPAC TVET 2026 rules covered on the About page and in the main competition guidelines. The one requirement specific to this category is that the video must be uploaded to one of the social-media platforms set by the organiser.
What the submission has to be.
The deliverable is a short vertical teaching video. It has to meet these specs to be accepted.
The supporting documents.
Alongside the video, each entry submits a small set of supporting materials. All of it has to stay accessible for the whole judging period.
- Project report. Background, how it was built, impact, and AI usage prompt or log where relevant, in PDF or Word.
- Extended abstract. A short summary of the project.
- Project poster. A single visual summary of the work.
- Video or digital material link. Where the short video and any related material live.
- Other supporting documents. Anything else relevant that strengthens the entry.
What the judges look at.
A panel of TVET experts scores each entry across a document review and a presentation session. These are the things they weigh. The exact weighting for each is set by the evaluation committee and listed in the category guidelines.
- Project report, including the AI usage log
- Mandatory specification and ethical AI use
- The presentation, how clearly the idea is explained and questions answered
- Content and teaching design, fit to a skill activity or concept in the NOSS
- Originality, creativity and innovation
- The finished video, quality, reach and engagement as a bonus
- Impact and usability in real teaching and learning
- Wider-use potential and the variety of tools used to make the video
