Exploring the video-based learning research: A review of the literature

Although the use of learning videos has been widely employed in the past years, recently the interest has been incrementally increased. Millions of learners watch videos from different platforms (eg, YouTube) on a diverse number of terminals (desktop, phone, tablet). Students access academic content via digital libraries, discussions with tutors by email and online courses from their homes. Additionally, massive online open courses (MOOCs) are becoming an increasingly important part of education (Martin, 2012).
