Abstract

Education and technology merge with a common use: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which were made known in our time as innovations within an educational system. ICTs are a set of technological tools, therefore the internet is considered as part of these strategies. The advancement of technology has allowed it to continue being part of education for some years, as life progresses it adapts to the requirements of a medium or the subject in which it is applied. Currently, the Internet is part of ICT as an educational tool for the dissemination of knowledge and helpful information, which provides fast, complementary and versatile learning. In our society, most individuals regularly use the internet for different purposes: from an email, stay informed, socialize in networks, among some things, thus forming a society linked to cyber space. Social networks, websites and virtual platforms within the internet are a means of communication through which communication is disseminated and exchanged, which is why everything that happens in the virtual world obtains or generates a change in the real world. When considering the Internet as part of ICT, the YouTube website is seen as an indispensable tool for this research. YouTube is distinguished by being an online platform, covering a variety of audiovisual products, with different themes that grow day after day thanks to the contribution of users from all over the world. One of the benefits of this platform is that it provides information to strengthen learning, compared to formal or traditional education. The incursion of the tutorial videos in the education of the students is very evident, because they have a greater scope and benefit both committed and new users. Young people today prefer to acquire knowledge differently from young people from other decades. These videos are a self-learning system that mimics a teacher who takes a series of steps or procedures to complete a task or activity. Through this research it is established how the tutorial videos of the YouTube platform, are used as support in the autonomous work of the students of the social communication career, which strengthens the knowledge for television production.
