Educate through Video
Thursday, August 16, 2007 at 11:10AM Seth Godin recently wrote about video in its role as an educational tool, citing YouTube as a common forum for the masses to dispense know-how and information to one another.
The compelling power of video is something our company has been leveraging for decades, and the educational aspects of video are being talked about now more than ever before. The age of conversation we often discuss centers around the incredible techno-sociological movement we are experiencing, fueled by the Internet through use of blogging, dynamic Web sites, emails, chat rooms, and other social networking vehicles. And at the core of every conversation is someone's story waiting to be told, and information to be shared.
One of the most valuable things we offer - beyond our product or service - is our knowledge. For some, our knowledge is our core offering. And through imparting what we know, we all have the opportunity to position ourselves as experts in our respective industries - a key to leadership.
Everyone has something to share, and everyone something to learn. We are all simultaneously teacher and student. And each of us has the privilege to take part in the exchange of information and ideas through story - with video and interactive media among the most powerful viral mediums.

Thanks for sharing this point-of-view. It's also an effective medium for learning because whenever the student is ready, the video teacher can appear.
I totally agree that video learning is the way of the future especially it leap frogs those hurdles that require many to read but lack those tools to do so. It also saves time that a case study normally takes up and has the added facility of audio and visual stimulation to excite students at whatever level. It is the tool of future virtual universities and does not require much time nor costs. It is the way in which people can exchange ideas without boundaries and cultural norms.
