Abstract
The traditional approach to developing practical skills in physiotherapy
education presents several challenges. Because of larger class sizes, it is
difficult for all students to see clearly what is being demonstrated, and
because of limited staff numbers, lecturers cannot necessarily spend enough
time with students to observe and correct their techniques.[1] This study
aimed to explore an alternative means of instruction that is emerging as
an area of interest in physiotherapy education. Video-based learning is
increasingly being used in programmes with high levels of practical content
to free up time in the classroom for lecturers to help students to problem
solve instead. Video-based learning allows students to learn a practical
technique using only online resources for instruction and demonstration
components.
