Making Learning Fun With Interactive Educational Videos
Students do not always find traditional classroom lectures to be appealing, motivating and effective especially when they find a particular subject to be boring. However, if this trend continues over a long period, it will have a negative effect on their grades. Fortunately, the internet has made it possible for qualified teachers with adequate expertise on such subjects to make educational videos for the benefit of such pupils. Not only are these videos fun to watch and listen but also they ingrain the basic concepts of the subject in the minds of these students so that they find it interesting to learn.
Origins of The Great Course
Thomas M Rollins, the creator who come up with the idea of The Great Courses was under a similar dilemma as a Harvard University law student. He had to appear for an important exam to test his knowledge and aptitude on the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence, which he found to be monotonous and boring to learn. However, he knew that he had to get good grades on the subject and for this to happen he needed to have a thorough understanding of the concepts and material of the subject. However, after getting hold of ten education videos of Professor Irving Younger, a prominent expert on the subject, his life changed forever. Unlike his normal university lectures, he found the teaching methods and sermons of this eminent professor to be interesting, accessible and a joy to learn. The videos were catalyst in entrenching the basic concepts and gist of the subject in his mind. This helped his to pass the examination with flying colors by getting an ‘A’ grade. This experience remained with him forever and laid the foundations for creating the Thomas M Rollins Teaching modules under the brand name of The Great Courses.
Selecting the best teachers for students
He along with his team of teaching professionals believe it is important for students to learn from the best teachers to have good understanding and expertise on teaching subjects they find difficult to apprehend.
