Hannah Wright · Accepted Answer

I learned adobe premiere to create promo videos for our app all through video tutorials. There is so much available and being able to create quick videos as needed is a really helpful skill when launching a new product.

@nataliekarakina yes indeed! Rewind the video is time consuming.

@marina_korobka I agree, there are a lot of click baits with unqualified content or limited content to promote something else...

I think Video is the most comfortable way to learn something especially tutorial. I prefer to watch YouTube when I want to learn these. E-Books and Articles are great for the time you need a brief description.

Answer

Video hands on. Very useful tool

Ann · Answer

First I'd go for articles.  Plus some video instructions for complicated process.

Marina Korobka · Answer

Articles and video. However it gets tougher to find a truly informative and useful articles

Ashley Kolodziej · Answer

None of these - I want a problem to solve and a reference to learn the vocabulary I need to Google and get things done. Interactive tutorials are best for me - stuff like the learn panel in Adobe apps these days is great. Or a good set of documentation to get that vocabulary in my head. I need to be able to try things and fail safely, and ideally, have some context about why the right answer is the correct answer.

I usually apply this to learning new programming languages, but I think it’d be great with learning foreign languages, and when I was trying to learn to invest, I just threw money at things until I found out paper trading exists.

Artem Khromov · Answer

It strongly depends on the subject and context you're in. 
Personally, I use 50/50 mix of video and articles.

BTW, does anyone know a great tool to make video highlights? Or to attach a note to specific time?

Natalie Karakina · Answer

Article. I can highlight and save smth, with video I have to put extra time for writing

Olya Zabalkanska · Answer

video and articles are my top choice

Cica-Laure Mbappé · Answer

@artkhromov I agree with you. I would go for articles to learn how to take care of my plants, but I'd watch videos to learn something more technical (like sewing).
