The Internet has become a haven of how-to solutions for almost every problem that concerns all human activities. Want to learn how to make a salsa dip for your nachos? Go online and you'll find hundreds of recipes that you can choose from.
But what if you need a fix to more complicated stuff? Like your bathtub leak?
No worries. The Internet can provide you answers to that (try typing “bathtub leak” in your search engine). Descriptive texts and photos in web pages help a lot in teaching you how to do this or that. However, online videos work best in demonstrating you how to do things.
So what sets online videos apart from all other instructional materials? What are the advantages of using online videos? The two main reasons can be found on the phrase “online video” itself:
1) Online videos are online.
2) Online videos are videos.
They're available online.
- Once you've got a computer and a good Internet connection, online videos are accessible anytime, anywhere. You have control of your own time, you can learn without leaving your home. You can watch an online video at 2 a.m. while you're out on your porch taking a bite off your favorite pizza.
- Online learning helps you become more self-directed and responsible for your own learning. No one or nothing else is going to spoon-feed you with information but the online video. You can watch the video over and over again until you learn how to follow the steps correctly. No one else but you can tell if you've got things right.
- It's cost-efficient. It's true that you've got to purchase a computer and pay for Internet access and additional electricity. But what's more expensive and physically exhausting than having to buy gas everyday for your car so you can drive to the campus. Anyway, you can do lots of things in the Internet aside from plainly educating yourself. You can start learning how to create a website and start running your own business via the Internet. And what better way to learn how to earn money! Watching instructional videos online can teach you a lot of things from website design to online marketing.
- Learning via the Internet connects you to the entire world. No other technological innovation can do this in a more convenient and cost-efficient manner.
They're videos.
- Aside from being a fast and easy way of helping people learn, online videos are effective in explaining difficult subjects especially those that require the use of one's imagination. Since videos elicit both your visual and auditory senses, they're good at providing a solid explanation for things that look absurd when described only by plain text or photos.
- Videos make you learn by appealing both to your emotions and thinking. Since you're using both your eyes and ears to learn, you get to appreciate better the aesthetic meaning of the material before you while your mind is processing every bit of information provided by the video.
- Videos depict motion, thus they're good at describing changes that occur over time. Hence, videos are effective for teaching processes and procedures. Instructional videos usually include screenshots which are useful in demonstrating how a particular gadget or software works. They can feed you with complete information on how to design a website or how to set-up a blog.
At the touch of your fingertips, the Internet has made learning easy both for the teacher and the learner. Thanks to online videos. Learning has never been this fun, convenient, and effective all in one package.
