What do you think about online learning?

Post by froggyboy604 »

It is good for learning soft skills like using excel, Microsoft word, basic writing, programing, history, and web design.

But, I wouldn't really feel comfortable crossing the street if people learned how to drive by just reading books on driving, or by playing Driving Simulators.

I think Video tuturials like the one I posted below are good for learning how to do stuff.

His voice is understandable, he talks at a good pace. Plus, you can watch the video over and over again till you understand it.

Plus, you can leave him comments or messages and he might respond back to you with an answer.

I think it is better then reading a old book if done right since books sometimes use words that people don't use much anymore like Pseudo, or Chareleton

Well varies on the subject really,
and quality of content of the video tutorial,

Though i think it's okay if it's done properly and there is a test at the end that is worthwhile

Online classes that don't have assignments, quizs or tests will have more people who don't really study or review the videos since a lot of people only study, so they don't fail or get kicked out of class for failing.

I think these types of people are sometimes more likely to use those GPS systems which can be kind of distracting and inaccurate at times. Plus, the ones who put on make up and style themselves are wrost.

I resent this!! Although both times I was hit was by a woman...that doesn't mean anything! :lol: All speeders suck and that's that! Dumb drivers know no sex! :P Do not confuse that last statement with they don't have sex, cause some of the dumb ones do that and drive at the same time. :wink:

Maybe an online video driving course will solve certain people being bad drivers. Plus, have them download a driving simulator that teaches people to drive better.
