The use of digital videos in learning processes is becoming increasingly widespread, particularly within the educational context created by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a situation where moving education online is the only recourse, carrying out research into the impacts of using this kind of audiovisual material becomes imperative. A UOC team has studied the way digital videos are perceived by groups of engineering students when applied to various introductory physics courses, both at a fully online university, such as the UOC, and a traditional bricks-and-mortar university, such as the Escola Università ria Salesiana de Sarrià (EUSS). The results show that audiovisual materials are well received by students, who find them extremely useful, and highlight videos’ potential for increasing academic success by generating higher pass rates.
