Video tutorials in education are the preferred way of learning by students everywhere. A lot of online players have emerged recently to cater to this requirement. Cheaper data services and user-friendly mobiles have added to the momentum.

YouTube is the best site to learn anything and everything that you want to. All kinds of tutorials in different languages and on different topics are available abundantly. Video-based learning has impacted the education sector beautifully.

Why video-based learning is preferred by students

Video tutorials support distance Learning

One of the biggest advantages of video tutorials in education is the fact that they cater to distance learning. This is a really big advantage point in a developing country like India where the rural population forms the bulk of society.

Cutting across geographic terrains, video lectures bring education to all classes of population in the same unbiased way.

Video tutorials can be repeated as per wish

You do not have to hesitate and you will not be judged if you repeat the video tutorial again and again. In fact, you are encouraged to repeat the video tutorials until you understand the concepts clearly.

Asking the teacher to repeat a particular concept again in class may not go well as it slows the whole class. The patience of teachers also plays an important factor in this. A lot of students are shy early on and hesitate to ask questions and instead just tag along with the whole class. Problems like these are solved very easily through video tutorials.

Video tutorials offer cost, convenience, and comfort

Video tutorials provide all the convenience and comfort of learning a student might want. Learn at your own pace, space, and will. If you do not like one form of teaching, switch to some other. Students do not have to travel to a coaching class or have a tutor in the house to learn. They can plan their day accordingly and make sure that studies do not come in the way of sports or any other activity. You do not have to schedule anything as the videos are available on a click.

The cost factor is not provided by many education-based companies as the cost of production of videos is high. YouTube and Study Spectrum provide these video tutorials for free and can be accessed at any time by students.

YouTube provides these videos for free and people even in rural regions can consume them with ease. Finding good teachers in rural parts of the country is very difficult and these video lectures act as a boon for them.

Video tutorials emphasize learning not performance

The video tutorials have the single purpose of teaching and do not get into evaluating the knowledge of a student. This makes it more user-friendly and students can learn free of any stress to score high.

Rote based learning is prevalent in India as kids have a strong memorizing power. Video tutorial form of learning emphasizes understanding rather than memorizing topics. Memorizing can get facts in our brain but to apply these facts, one needs to understand them completely. That is why learn, not memorize is the mantra of education.

Smart use of animation and background manipulations makes learning fun and effective.

Study Spectrum manipulates background to show images and animation of concepts the tutors are teaching in the video tutorial. Check this.

Learn at your pace with video tutorials

In schools, you cannot ask a teacher to stop teaching for the next 5 minutes as you need to absorb the concept and mull over it. In video tutorials, you can pause them whenever you feel like and there you are, all set to understand the concept before resuming learning. Students who are slow learners always shy away from asking the teacher to repeat the concept again. They simply stay quiet as the class moves on. This impacts the learning as the earlier concepts wait for clarification and the list keeps building on.

With video lectures, the pace can be controlled, repeated over again and again and new methods can be looked into to clear concepts. Shy students or those who lag behind in concepts can easily catch up with these video lectures.

Video tutorials teach beyond theory and facts

Traditionally books are filled with lots of information and very fewer pictures. Because of this, the concepts remain mostly theoretical and students might not be able to get visual imagery of the concept. This gets addressed in video tutorials beautifully as the concepts are explained in video formats. It enables a student to get a whole around perspective on the topic and visualize it.

Remember, the globe, map and the body skeleton placed in schools for the visualization purpose?

In video tutorials, you can select the language you are comfortable with

While studying, the teaching is done primarily in English and students struggle to catch up with the language. English is not the mother tongue of students in India and we have actually adapted ourselves to it. Hindi is what families use to communicate, at least in the northern part of the country. People actually think in Hindi.

We translate the English sentence into Hindi for comprehension, reply in Hindi and translate it back to English while speaking. Consider rural areas where the regional language and not even Hindi is mostly used. Getting tutors or any good educational website for such an audience is the real challenge.

This gets addressed mostly in video lectures as local dialect gets addressed through audio dubbing or recording. For this, the video also comes in vernacular languages so that language does not become a barrier. Getting a quality vernacular teacher can be very difficult especially outside metros.

What is Online Education

Video tutorials increase knowledge retention

As per research, students who see videos tend to retain the knowledge delivered more as compared to or any other way of teaching. The main reason for this improved performance is the visual effects that print the concepts in the student’s minds. Video tutorials explain the concept in a much better way through the use of visual imagery.

Due to a variety of video tutorials available online, if you do not like a particular teacher’s way of teaching, you can easily switch over to another video. Unlike this in a classroom, you are stuck with a teacher whether you like or not and cannot do anything about it.

Video tutorials have the potential for flipped classrooms

Many institutes now use video-based teaching to give a blended or flipped learning experience. These institutes create video lectures that are available on their platforms for students to access easily. The video lectures act as supplement learning to classroom teaching.

Instead of running away from it, schools and colleges should accept video tutorials as an added advantage to be leveraged in their pedagogy.

Video tutorials get proper feedback and assistance

Feedback on our videos gives us the exact response and preferences of students. The feedback that we get from students in our video tutorials on YouTube shows us how we are contributing to their learning. We also get to know what students like or did not like to guide us in making the next videos.

Students also ask for assistance in the comments on these video tutorials. Based on these we provide them support through our online platform.

Video tutorials play a very important role in education. They beautifully supplement and cover the shortcomings of the current education system. With the growth of digital India, video lectures will soon play the most important role in developing the education system, particularly in the rural sector.
