Theres a definite difference...Learning step by step to a voice and visual instructed teacher (in my opinion) is much more clear than having to read something and reread it to really understand it.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoIMO it's much worse. It's slower, less knowledge-dense and you can't jump around and learn the things you need the way you like. Reading and re-reading is a feature IMO, not a bug, and videos have all the drawbacks of sitting in the classroom without providing any of the benefits (you can't, say, ask the video for clarification).
- throwawaymsft 13y agoIf the medium is visual (knitting, a sport, etc) then video is great. But a math lecture is probably better as text, with images/diagrams. How often are videos remade to fix poor examples? How often is text fixed? (Where's the ever improving video version of Wikipedia?)
