Abstract
  • Video tutorials on YouTube are considered an effective tool for communicating, learning and teaching materials to a wide audience. Many have reported that learning through YouTube videos enables the audience to achieve better learning outcomes because the videos are available anytime and anywhere, with the flexibility of playback, repeat, and pause options. As such researchers have confirmed the role of YouTube in supporting and developing educational systems (McMullen, 2011). This paper aims to understand how YouTube can be used as an educational tool and its strategies for integration into the educational system.
