Ah, so it was the video aspect of the google course. Tell me, you watched the video and read the code in the video, so can you think about why a video with code in it was superior to a book with code in it? Was it the talking? The active watching and typing? The inclusion of faces?
Thanks for your time. I also have videos but I want to redo them so they're better. Any insight will help.
I believe it was the active watching and typing. Not sure why, but when I watch someone actually doing something it makes more sense to me. Also, watching very experienced people make minor mistakes removes some frustration from the learning process.
Alright cool, thanks. I actually have a video course, and what I tell people is to use the videos to get them "over the hump", then use the book like homework to complete. I may make that more explicit in later versions and point out that watching me make mistakes will help them.
