In the fast changing world of IT, the advantages of using Video Learning are numerous.
1.More free time: No need to attend classes and no commute.
2.Learn when and where you want: You set the schedule that works best for you.
3.Hands on learning: With Video Learning, you actually perform simulations right on your own computer.
4.Section reviews: Review the material you just learned. This helps keep the material fresh in your mind and also to identify areas you may need to work on.
Here are the tips when you use Video Learning to master IT technologies.
1.Watch the video in short segments - you will get the most from a video if you focus your concentration on segments of one to five minutes in length.
2.Take notes - videos are ideal for developing note-taking skills. Take notes on the first viewing, then rewind, replay and check them.
3.Hold it! - While watching, use the "pause" feature to temporarily stop the tape. Try to predict/recall what will happen next.
4.Sound off - for video sequences that rely on visuals, turn the sound off and narrate. This technique works especially well for listing the steps of a process, practicing dialog or describing the unfolding of events.
5.Cover the picture - use the audio clues to describe what is on screen.
6.Use closed captions - not just for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, closed captions are helpful when there is a lot of new vocabulary and for promoting literacy.
7.Review, review, review - Use the "rewind" feature liberally to master one segment before proceeding to the next.
