Why live online training is more effective than watching videos

Nowadays, more and more people are turning to live online training. They use it to learn new things and get better at what they do. When compared to just watching videos, live training has a lot of benefits. In fact, it makes learning more effective. So, let’s delve into some of these advantages next:

Real-time interaction

First and foremost, a big advantage of live training is the immediate exchange between the trainer and students. Specifically, this means students can raise questions about things they’re unsure of and receive answers on the spot. Simultaneously, the trainer can provide instant feedback on their progress. However, this kind of real-time conversation doesn’t occur with videos.

More engaging and motivating

Second, live training can be more fun and motivating for students. When they’re actively involved, they pay more attention. They can put new skills to use right away, talk with the trainer and other students, and see the fruits of their work quickly. Plus, this active learning makes the sessions more enjoyable.

Sense of community and collaboration

In addition, live online training also builds community. Students can chat and team up for tasks right away. They can share ideas and cheer each other on. In a video, a student is alone. They might only talk to others in the comments.

Personalized learning experience

Finally, live online training has a big advantage: it’s personalized. The trainer can change the lesson to match what each student needs. Some can get extra help with hard topics. Others can get separate tasks. With a video, everyone sees the same thing.

At Grand Slam I.T. School, live online training is a more effective way to learn new skills and improve our knowledge: it offers real-time interaction, personalized learning, community and collaboration, flexibility, and engagement. With live online training, trainees can learn from the comfort of their own home while staying connected with their trainers and fellow trainees.
