The importance of learning based on the context, using the real world to improve learning outcomes, has been emphasized by the sociocultural theory of learning (Merriam and Caffarella 1999) and constructivist (Jonassen, Peck and Wilson 1999). The dominant idea of the sociocultural theory of learning is that learning is not something that happens in isolation or individually, but is shaped by context, culture, and tools in the learning situation (Merriam and Caffarella 1999). It is believed that Real-world contexts, where there are social relations, tools and experiences involved, can enhance learning environments (Lave 1996).

According to some authors, the passivity of learners means that support learning through video does not have the desired effect. However, some studies on video-based instruction in which learners were able to participate actively in learning. Thus, this project, we also aim to assess the potential for video instruction on learning based on constructivism, which is designed to engage students in active learning, collaborative and authentic.

To achieve this, we study to what extent can the best video-based learning instructions (for your understanding and retention) and motivation (their attention, relevance, confidence and satisfaction), comparing students' perceptions of both video instruction and text in the context of online learning.

The human brain receives daily lot of information through the senses, and it is through them that man learns to move the balances and relate to how the world around him. The brain organizes the information received and this process is called sensory integration. For years the human brain has been regarded as a computer and as such relies on information it receives from the environment through the senses, through the different formats and resources, learners can receive different stimuli and guide the learning process according to the most appropriate resource in each case.
