Aim:
The purpose of this review was to explore what is known about the efficacy of web-based video lectures (WBVLs).
Background:
Nurse educators have embraced innovations such as online, flipped, and blended learning. Such innovations are enhanced by WBVLs, but there has been limited research on effective design.
Method:
A systematic search was conducted to identify studies of the efficacy of WBVL in nursing education between 2005 and 2017. An established framework was used to analyze the quality of studies.
Results:
Findings from 11 studies revealed that students were satisfied with WBVL as supplement to or replacement for in-person lectures. Studies were hampered by lack of theory, methodological concerns, and an absence of experimental trials.
Conclusion:
Findings suggest that the efficacy of WBVL may be equivalent to or better than in-person lectures. Future studies should be guided by pedagogical theory and focus on comparing design practices for WBVL.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
