Self-education through Youtube Channels

In the era of Information Technology, the universities are also failed to provide desired education to the students. Making the students either entrepreneurs or skilled employees has become very tough job. But the students who have commitment and passion to do something; are learning through youtube channels and being successful even without studying in universities. 

Google and Facebook:

The information is disseminated around the world through Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media web portals and apps. The Google comprises all the tools to search the information relevant to the seekers and due to this particular advantage, it has become the largest preferred web portal for seeking information on the internet. Similarly, the Facebook has also been preferred to seek the relevant information. People search facebook like Google and attain the knowledge from the portal. The users of Google and Facebook also upload their information for disseminating it around the world.

YouTube for Self Education:

The youtube itself provides a separate platform for the people or viewers interested in self-education i.e. https://www.YouTube.com/education; the platform had been launched in 2009 and has been broadcasting the educational content from over 100 universities and colleges. Secondly, there is another platform for the teachers to learn teaching i.e. https://www.YouTube.com/user/TeachingChannel.

TED Education Portal:

The TED Education portal provides a platform to spread great ideas with talented educators and animators. In TEDx Talks it is said, “Till H. Groß is a remarkable young man with a passion for psychology. He took his education in his own hands...with mind blowing success”. The talks provided upon the TEDx Talks on youtube can help broaden the mind with new exposures regarding experiences and actual lessons learnt by others. Secondly the Jim Rohn also provided an opportunity to learn using his youtube channel. His views upon self education through youtube state:

“For things to change, You have to change!

For things to get better, You have to get better!

Formal education will make you a living!

Self education will make you a fortune!

Become more attractive to the marketplace and people will become attracted to you!

George Lucas Foundation:

The George Lucas Foundation, Edutopia provided evidence-based teaching strategies for teachers and trainers around the world. It helps in sharpening the skills of consultants. 

Khan Academy:

The non-profit educational organization Khan Academy has been started in 2006 and constantly delivering performance and making available latest and updated content online in all disciplines. With easy access to the sources of knowledge, students are being benefited, however, there is one problem which is still unaddressed i.e. how to retain talent and how to utilize the talented man-power to the maximum extent.
