Abstract

Video has become one of the most influent and used medias nowadays, being employed in learning in various contexts and approaches. It is being used by content creators and educators in non-formal, informal and/or formal learning environments, as well as from face-to-face (traditional) courses, as a support tool for teacher in the classroom (e.g. flipped classroom), to blended and full online courses. This paper intents to present some concepts and findings related to the use of video as a media in distance learning, addressing its potentials and guidelines for using this media in learning contexts.
