But in todays high tech world, we have the opportunity to present the same infromation in a somewhat "live" presentation to many more people via video over the internet.The resulting understanding of the material is equal to a live presentation in that we are still able to use sight and sound to create a real connection to the material being presented. We remember what we see and hear, better than what we are told. We remember what we see and hear over 93% better than what we read.
When we were young, our teachers used sight and sound by verbally presenting the subject matter and then writing the key points on the blackboard. Remember the first time you traveled to a new location, maybe a friend's home in a new town. The first time you made the trip, you followed your friend's directions and either made a wrong turn or, at the very least, paid very close attention to the directions that you were given. But once you've made the trip, you now have a better understanding of where to go, when to turn and what landmarks to look for. Imagine if you were able to see a video of the entire trip before you left your home. If you missed something you could go back and replay the video. You would better understand where you needed to go on your trip before you left your home.
This same theory has been used in training simulators, such as flight simulators. And look at all of the "how to" shows that are on TV. The producers of infomercials have understood this for many years. Sight and sound combine to bring a greater understanding of whatever it is you wish to learn. When you combine this with the explosion of the internet and the growth of broadband internet in homes across the country, you provide access to information to many more people and that information is accepted and retained more readily than with printed words.
In this article I have tried to come as close as possible to using sight and sound by placing images of teachers and road trips into your thoughts, so that you could better understand my point. Being a computer technician and trainer I use this methodology to create online video tutorials (www.videotutorialsonline.net)to teach my customers some of the basics of computer software. Many websites are now using this to teach, sell, and inform the masses about a procedure or a product, and in the future, the use of video in the classroom and on the internet is sure to grow.
Today, nearly every online video poker website that you visit has some sort of online video poker training tools to offer, as a guide to help you master the art of playing online video poker, but the question is do they really work? Can they really help you become a better online video poker player? Well generally speaking I guess that would depend on the individual, how serious he/she is about wanting to be the best online video poker player, how the individual learns best i.e. through text or video tutorials or simply through practice. Most online video poker training tools is a software program, designed with an interface that looks similar to a regular online video poker game, which you can either download onto your hard-drive and run on your computer or often use directly in your browser through a java based script. Of course most of these also come with an extensive set of rules for playing poker so if you're not sure of how to even begin playing then this is definitely the right software for you! As it will walk you through a poker game step by step.
As mentioned above online video poker training tools interface are similar to any normal online video poker screen, you have a hand of five cards at the bottom of the screen, the statistics of the game at the top of the cards and maybe a chart or some other device at the right hand side of the screen. Depending on which of the myriad of online poker training software you are using you will find that the display on the right hand side of the screen has something else. This is usually where the video poker training software tool displays its specific task - Such as showing a green tick or a red x telling you if you have made a correct decision or not, or sometimes a chart which shows how you are progressing in your video poker training program.
Don't worry these training tools are very easy to use! Simply start playing as if you were actually sitting in front of a regular online video poker machine, and let the online video poker training tools do its stuff. It will give pointers like when you are betting too high with a low hand, or folding too soon and before you know it you will get the hang of it. Once you have finished your play and have kept what cards you wanted as soon as you hit the deal button again the program will notify you if you have made a winning choice and if not it will let you know where you went wrong, plus it will also give you tips on the best strategies for each hand played. This may sound too good to be true doesn't it, but believe me these online video poker training tools are out there, and they are a great way for newbies as well as seasoned online video poker players alike, to keep their online video poker playing skills up to par.
