YouTube is a Web 2.0 technology-based social media platform that enables users to produce and share their own videos as well as watch and interpret other users' video materials. The purpose of this study is to determine how university students perceive educational video clips shared on YouTube and whether their perceptions differ across some demographic variables. The study was designed as a survey research within the quantitative research paradigm. The sample of the study was made up of 125 university students attending at a major state university in Turkey. Data were collected through an online questionnaire including demographic information form and an 11-item opinion scale for the use of YouTube videos as educational material obtained from the related literature. As a result of the study, it was found that participating university students generally agreed the potential motivation and contribution that YouTube educational videos provide to their learning. In addition, students' perceptions were found to be independent of their gender, age, grade level, program type, and faculty. [For the full proceedings, see ED631133.]
