Avaliação do uso do vídeo como ferramenta complementar de ensino nos cursos de saúde da Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil.

Abstract

The profile of students has been altered due to increased use of new technologies, however, the quality of the information available online worries. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the health courses of the Midwest region use complementary educational videos and verify if the duration of the videos changes the way they are used. Data from the e-mec platform were used to access information from 295 health courses. Simultaneously, basic histology videos have been compiled and posted on YouTube. No instructional videos were found on the websites of the region's universities. It has been observed that there is a demand for this type of content and that the duration of the videos can influence the way in which they are watched by the users. It is concluded that videos are underutilized in the health courses of the Midwest and that the way in which the content is presented can influence the way in which users will access it.
