Is Step-by-step Training A Good Way To Learn?
The education memory expert Daniel Dobos is a specialist in advanced learning strategies and runs Mental Blank VCE where he conducts programs to help students get better results using his memory enhancing techniques. Since his programs always follow a linear fashion where students are guided in a step-by-step process, he was asked about the efficacy of this method when it came to improving the learning curve.
Does the step-by-step training process really work?
For example, when people look for information on an internet marketing product, they always ask and look for a step-by-step training process without knowing if it really works or not. Daniel Dobos feels that people need to be aware of what they want to learn and with the release of his new and latest product called ‘TrafficGrab,’ he decided it was time to help students optimize all the learning outcomes of the training that they attended. He spilt all his videos into three main categories; paid, free, and borrowed traffic. When he did this, people were able to get all the information that they were looking for using a minimal amount of effort in the process.
Creating good learning products
People always absorb only a part of the total product and this is why product creators need to ensure that they structure the product in such a way, so people find exactly what they are looking for, in the right sections of the product. Content creators need to make these products easier to understand and the correct approach that works well is not a step-by-step process, but breaking all the information into smaller data chunks and segments, so people can plunge head-on into the part that they feel would help them to the greatest extent.
Good information products always have a welcome video that gives users a snapshot of what they can expect from the whole program. Different customers use the product differently and it is always better to tell them which useful video sections to jump into by using either a table of contents or a transcription PDF. Video categorization according to topic to form smaller groups works well.
Other suggestions
Dan recommends using software called Enounce that speeds up videos for faster retention of information that also boosts accelerated learning. A multiplayer video display also makes learning a lot easier.
If there is no learning plan in mind and neither an outcome or goal, it becomes extremely tough to learn anything that useful. So, that is precisely the reason he considers diving into a learning concept in parts the best way to face all learning challenges and solve all learning problems. For example, the reason students learn faster through videos than textbooks is because viewing videos is a non-linear process that results in higher knowledge absorption and therefore, better results and quicker solutions. The bottom line is to understand the outcome or the result that people are seeking when they invest in products for quick learning and information.
