E-Learning E-leaning is becoming ever more popular as students are able to gain access to the leaning resources 24/7, from any anywhere, using computers, smartphones and tablets. This enables students to learn at their own pace and in the own time. For a number of years Dr Luigi Vorluni focused on identifying and implementing the most effective learning solutions. Using the knowledge and experience he has gained, and utilising the latest technology and teaching approaches, he creates teaching videos and other resources of different subjects that motivate and engage the learners, facilitating understanding, and augmenting learning. Dr Luigi Vorluni is able of developing e-learning solutions at different levels to meet the specific requirements of your college/institution, ensuring that your students get up-to-date, and the most relevant teaching and training delivered in a format and to a structure tailored for their needs. E-Leaning solutions are flexible, cost effective, and represent an effective way to help students learn, revise and prepare for exams, maximising their academic achievements and success. Videos in education There is a large body of evidence suggesting that technology can enhance learning. Indeed, multiple studies have shown that videos are a very effective tool to augment students’ engagement and learning. Dr Luigi Vorluni has conducted a study about the teaching videos he creates, involving 500,000 people with different abilities, age and gender. Further details are provide in the study paper, Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively.
A Study designed and conducted by Dr Luigi Vorluni
Title Teaching and learning in a contemporary context Objectives The objective of the study was to identify and implement effective strategies to facilitate understanding and enhance learning. Method and Participants The participants watched some videos, created by Dr Luigi Vorluni, and provided feedback. The number of people that took part in the study was 500,000 and the population cohort included participants with different abilities, age, and gender. Results The feedback from participants was positive, and they indicated that the videos contents were clear, concise and simplified so that the concepts could be fully and easily understood. Also, the population cohort included students, and they indicated that the teaching videos were very helpful to achieve their academic goals. Many of the students clearly expressed the interest in watching more videos. Further details about participants feedback is reported on Appendix A. Subsequently, the videos were sent for review to one of the most important British institutions, and below is included the feedback of the expert reviewers. The Institution has been anonymised for obvious reasons. Feedback provide by the expert reviewers
The tone of the videos is clear English and hits the right one for the level of understanding of an audience with different abilities. The videos are about the right length in terms of the amount of time for which we would expect someone to engage with this type of content, and it’s great that they incorporate animations, and that the images also include text explanations on-screen. There is a lot of evidence emerging to show that people accessing infographics on a mobile device are often viewing
them without sound and so subtitles are fast becoming the norm. Furthermore, people are increasingly accessing information from electronic devices, which has opened new opportunities and has changed the way that institutions and organisations are communicating with people. Conclusion The feedback provided by the participants of the study and by the expert reviewers, suggest that the quality of the teaching videos is very good and they can be used to help understanding and facilitate learning.
Appendix A - Participants’ Feedback
The study participants provided positive feedback, and some of the feedback is reported below. Participants have been anonymised, and only their initials are shown.
I would like to express my immense gratitude for your precious teaching videos. Watching them I have gained knowledge that enabled me to pass my science exam brilliantly. I would like to thank you once again for your contribution. Best wishes EM
Your 5 minutes video about the cardiac cycle is extremely clear, and helped me a great deal to understand the underling mechanisms of cardiac function. GMV
I am a surgeon and I have watched your video about ECG, and I must say that your explanations are wonderful, you are precise and comprehensive. I have recently started working in A & E department, and the ECG interpretation is very useful. Yours sincerely RM
I am an undergraduate student, I watched your videos and I found them so interesting, and very helpful to understand the various physiological functions and processes. Best regards SA
I am a university student and I watched your videos, which I found very interesting with comprehensive explanations. Many thanks AP
Thank you, this was so clear. I have been trying to learn the cardiac cycle using different resources, it still made very little sense to me until now. BD
I am a second year medical student, and I watched your video on ECG, which was very interesting. Thank you very much. UT
I am studying to become a nurse, and I found your videos really explanatory. With best regards SM
I watched your videos and they are very clear and precise. Thanks Kind regards MC
I watched your videos and they are really good. Many thanks CI Your videos are really clear, thank you very much. MC
Excellent videos. Thanks MU
Nice to see your videos. Informative and resourceful. Warm Regards RK
Good videos, I love your accent NB Pure awesomeness, keep it up! PB
Appendix B – Experienced Teachers’ Feedback The videos that Dr Luigi Vorluni creates were also watched by experienced teachers, and below is included their feedback, and for obvious reasons they have been anonymised.
The videos are very clear, and contain animations, diagrams and graphs, combined with verbal and on-screen text explanations. They are concise and effective, and the contents are well organised. The videos are engaging to watch, as everything flows well throughout. They represent a great learning resource, and could be combined with traditional classroom lessons to augment learning, and help student to achieve their goals.
