How Can Videos help YOU?
The Internet is full of good videos which are short and easy to absorb and learn from. They are free and can be viewed immediately so you don't have to stop the project you are working on. You can pause the video as you go along and you can work at your own pace watching the lesson as many times as you like. As you will be effectively be 'looking over someone's shoulder' as they use Word you will find the lessons more easily remembered and enjoyable.
What is the next step?
The first thing to do is spend some time looking for the video which holds your answers. Be choosy to avoid wasting time watching footage which has no relevance to your problem. Once you find the right video, the lesson will take far less time than attending your local college for an IT course!
Videos vs Training Courses
There are many advantages of the Videos over Training Courses at college. Besides them being free, they are also flexible. You can access them at your convenience, from a computer that suits you, you can learn at your own pace, listen to them as many times as you like and learn from actual users of the software.
Word is not just a Word Processor
Word is a flexible program capable of dressing up a standard document into something far more interesting and informative. Charts and pictures can replace chunks of text and the use of colour and indenting can make your document easier to read. Video lessons can teach you all this and more and may be a learning tool for you or a refresher for features you have not used recently.
When you have the 'know how' it is easy!
Where are these Videos?
On the Internet. Simply use search engines to make it even easier.
