Question

What type of format would you choose between an online video or an article on a website when consuming some professional/academic information? Why?

Answer 1

While consuming any professional/academic information,i would prefer it in the format of online video.This is because in case of online videos,the content is in audio and visual format and the human mind or behaviour grasps such contents easily and comfortably.Information in these formats have a comparatively more deeper impressions on our mind and can be memorised for a longer period of time.These visualised contents can be better understood,learnt and analysed than reading articles.Reading articles requires more concentration,effort and devotion to understand the subject matter.Besides the reader should have a minimum knowledge,capability to comprehend the contents in the article.We may face vocabulary problems while reading them.Comprehending the meaning of a content depends much on the way the information is presented and interpreting.This can be clearly understood in videos but articles are silent on this issue and so different people may interpret the meanings diffferently depending upon their IQ levels.In case of online videos,we can clear our doubts regarding the contents while watching them by commenting or through feedback mechanisms.Psychologically too we are comparatively more active while accessing such contents.Also online videos helps us to follow a scheduled and disciplined routine as there is a time-bound obligations.Also today is the era of digital education where we are taught in schools and classes on digital boards and smart classes.So students or learners feel more connected,comfortable and interesting while doing so and this learning becomes a fun rather than boredom.
