      ab: Background: While the use of digital technologies in collaborative design tasks have gained acceptance amongst educational researchers and instructors, few studies have analysed the application of video‐supported collaborative learning‐by‐design (VSC‐LBD) in the authentic setting of professional education and training. Objectives: This study on VSC‐LBD investigated the learning processes and outcomes of nursing students who collaboratively used a hypervideo authoring tool to learn the procedure about urinary catheter insertion. We hypothesized that the students who collaboratively used a hypervideo authoring tool to learn about a professional procedure would outperform those exposed to a traditional lesson on the same procedure. Further, we assumed that the students who created an instructional video from scratch would obtain higher learning scores than those who worked on existing footage. Methods: Participants (N = 60) worked in groups and were assigned to three conditions: in the first each group recorded a video while simulating the procedure and then turned the footage into a hypervideo (VSC‐LBD1); in the second condition each group already received the raw video to turn it into a hypervideo (VSC‐LBD1); in the third participants attended a traditional lesson (control). Pre‐ and post‐tests measured procedural knowledge acquisition. The co‐regulation episodes within the groups that produced the best and worst videos were assessed and measured. Results and Conclusions: The students in the two VSC‐LBD conditions significantly outperformed those in the control condition. No differences were found between making an original video and using existing footage. More co‐regulatory processing episodes were found in the best video group compared to the other groups. Takeaways: This study supports theoretical assumptions on the value of VSC‐LBD in authentic learning environments and provide useful information to instructors willing to adopt collaborative use of interactive video tools. Lay Description: What is already known about this topic: Video‐based technologies, and more in particular hypervideo with its additional affordances, results an effective tool to support procedural learning.Hypervideo designing is a fruitful Learning‐By‐Design (LBD) activity that allows learners to transform and restructure knowledge.From a pedagogical point of view, giving students collaborative design tasks on video materials showed to be quite effective. What this paper adds: Few studies have investigated the application of video‐supported collaborative learning‐by‐design (VSC‐LBD) in the authentic setting of professional education and training. The same is true when it comes to procedural knowledge acquisition applied to clinical procedures, with most studies focussing on conceptual knowledge acquisition.When working with a learning‐by‐design approach, a clear distinction between the benefit of designing a video from scratch and of designing the hyper‐ components was lacking.Adopting a VSC‐LBD pedagogical approach to support learning of professional procedures in the nursing sector showed to be very effective both looking at the learning processes and the learning outcomes. Implications for practice and/or policy: This study proposes a collaborative design activity to learn professional procedures and demonstrates its affordances in terms of learning gains compared to a traditional lesson.Giving students a collaborative design task to build a hypervideo seems more important than just giving them a design task on the starting video depicting the procedureThe paper provides instructors with the necessary information to develop pedagogically sound design VSC‐LBD activities in time‐sensitive yet effective ways.
