Watching video online is one of the most performed activities on the internet in Brazil, according to PNAD Continua 2017. To explore the relationship of this activity with education, the aim of this study was to identify ways to use Youtube videos to support the learning process by college students. To try to elucidate this issue, a systematic literature review (RAMOS, FARIA, FARIA, 2014) was conducted on Youtube and education in the CAPES Theses Database to inquire the accumulation of discussion on the subject. This literature review showed that there are 4 dissertations in this Brazilian database that studied the use of Youtube videos in elementary school. There is a gap in studies in higher education or focusing on informal learning. As an exploratory survey of the theme was applied an online questionnaire to collect data on the use of Youtube to support the learning process. From the content analysis (BARDIN, 2009) of the 64 answers, 4 interest categories were identified in the use of Youtube: 1) content learning, 2) content review, 3) test preparation and 4) audiovisual resources used. In general, it is noted that Youtube videos have been used to answer a specific demand or to reinforce school or self-interest knowledge due to their ease of access and their audiovisual resources.
