Lucas mentioned in the post that watching videos to achieve the effect of interactive learning. Learning by watching videos is very efficient and can get timely feedback. I have to say that this method really satisfies a part learning needs. The most substantial benefit must be that most topics can be simplified through the mode of video teaching and can even be used for various quick training through this method. Visual teaching content enables learners to understand and retain information for a long time quickly.


From my experience, learning by watching videos is more intuitive than reading text in the initial learning period, and it is easier to improve students’ concentration. At the same time, learning by watching videos can attract learners through its high-intensity visual and audio effects, which can help improve the learning efficiency of learners, and the sound and images loaded by video can bring learners to a new world. However, it does not mean we should give up the traditional reading mode, but to change the teaching order by putting the form of reading text after students practice:

  1. Watching
  2. Practicing
  3. Reading

Students will know their shortcomings after practice, therefore, they can read with targets and goals to maximize efficiency.
