“…Though Web-based packages offer a potentially useful learning opportunity, caution must be exercised as to the quality of material accessed. A recent study analyzed 119 videos on the video broadcast Website 'YouTube' offering tutorials on ECG interpretation in the context of ten common ECG diagnoses [17]. All of these videos were watched by an expert panel of two physicians who graded each video against pre-specified criteria in terms of usefulness, source and characteristics.…”

“…All of these videos were watched by an expert panel of two physicians who graded each video against pre-specified criteria in terms of usefulness, source and characteristics. This revealed that while 47.1% were deemed 'very useful' and 39.5% as 'useful', 13.4% were felt to be 'misleading' and contained inaccurate information [17]. Of the videos classified as 'very useful', 90% were uploaded by universities or hospitals and only 45% were uploaded by individuals [17].…”

Of the videos classified as 'very useful', 90% were uploaded by universities or hospitals and only 45% were uploaded by individuals [17]. The study demonstrated how popular this resource is with each of the 119 videos having been viewed an average of 12,197 times; however, given that there was no difference in number of views or number of 'likes' and 'dislikes' by viewers between 'very useful' and 'misleading' videos [17], it would seem that viewers are unable to discriminate between useful and misleading content themselves.…”

“…Students who received training in a lecture-workshop showed better results in ECG interpretation than those who followed self-directed learning (6) ; peer tutoring has proved to be more efficient than traditional classes. However, both the lack of conclusive results and the economic costs have led to the increase in the use of web simulation in the fields of medicine and nursing (7)(8) .Web-based learning promotes computer-mediated interaction and student-centered learning in most higher education institutions (9) . Some health science curricula include web simulation, which is widely accepted due to its easy, flexible and independent access, reinforcing individual self-study through training (10) .…”

Objective:To identify the association between the use of web simulation electrocardiography and the learning approaches, strategies and styles of nursing degree students. Method: A descriptive and correlational design with a one-group pretestposttest measurement was used. The study sample included 246 students in a Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support nursing class of nursing degree. Results: No significant differences between genders were found in any dimension of learning styles and approaches to learning. After the introduction of web simulation electrocardiography, significant differences were found in some item scores of learning styles: theorist (p < 0.040), pragmatic (p < 0.010) and approaches to learning. Conclusion: The use of a web electrocardiogram (ECG) simulation is associated with the development of active and reflexive learning styles, improving motivation and a deep approach in nursing students.

Effects of web-based electrocardiography simulation on strategies and learning stylesEfeitos da simulação eletrocardiográfica em ambiente web sobre as estratégias e estilos de aprendizagem Efectos de la simulación electrocardiográfica en ambiente web acerca de las estrategias y estilos de aprendizaje INTRODUCTIONTraditionally, the electrocardiogram (ECG) has aided the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of arrhythmias, coronary syndromes and cardiac revascularization (1) . These pathologies, often found in pre-hospital, accident and emergency and critical care settings, pose a life-threatening risk that requires quick diagnosis and treatment. ECG monitoring and interpretation skills are gained in medical education and strengthened by experience. However, the need for immediate pattern recognition and subsequent procedures involves nurses in the processes of evaluation, registration, and initiation of reperfusion therapies as well as in the detection of complications and the request for assistance.ECG interpretation requires high-order learning. Although the ECG has historically been taught in a traditional classroom, new methodologies have changed the teaching-learning process in response to the lack of time and resources. Health science educators should focus their teaching methods on the student, developing new learning processes and adapting their strategies to each context or discipline. In academic nursing education, this new status quo favors technology, motivation, active participation and simulation (2)(3) . Multiple technologies have been applied to ECG teaching in medicine, nursing and pharmacy degrees for both undergraduates and postgraduates, including a multimedia CD-ROM, videograms, computer programs, computer-assisted tutorials, multimedia teaching and interdisciplinary approaches (1,4) . Human simulation, web-based video and web simulation tools (5) have been used to develop ECG diagnostic skills in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).The ECG diagnostic skills ar...
