“…When papers was related to videos as reproducers of reality, these papers were more intended to illustrate a procedure or type of care (26,28,33,34,43,(47)(48) , to be memory devices (32)(33)36,38,41) , to transmit information more easily (15,24,(32)(33)37,(40)(41)47) , and to offer students the opportunity to review their care (33,(37)(38) and thus perform a selfevaluation, that is, being able to explore reality by transposing limits of space and time (21) (especially when related to distance education).
