Desenvolvimento de um canal virtual e avaliação dos temas mais acessados com foco em metabolismo e fisiologia endócrina

Abstract

Objective: The search for complementary material to study or updating in virtual environments, with emphasis on video lessons, is a common practice. Although students report satisfaction and improvement in learning with such material, the duration of videos and the lack of organization of these materials seem to be a recurring problem. The aim here was to create a channel for short-videos focusing endocrinology and metabolism. Method: A tablet and a digital pen were used to produce the material. In addition, a video-camera was used to record the classes. Sixteen video-lessons were produced and shared on the YouTube ® website in a channel called Metabolizando. Results: The channel had more than 700 subscribers and the sum of viewings of the available videos exceeded 48.000 views. Five videos corresponded to 70% of the playback time and 75% of the views. The search for videos originateed predominantly on YouTube ® itself. In addition, more than 90% of the views were carried out by machines located in Brazil. Conclusion: It is possible to conclude that there is demand for short-term video-lessons with focus on metabolism. Such videos can contribute to the learning of students interested in this topic.
