A lecture close to perfect, both in terms of learning and teaching method.
If there were 5 stars, I'd give 5; if there were 100, I'd give 100.
I watch many lectures due to my interest in teaching methods, but I often feel a sense of disappointment.
I didn't feel that at all in this lecture. The advantages are as follows:
1. Terminology Explanation
All terms are explained in an easy-to-understand manner. You might think, "Isn't that obvious?" but when listening to lectures on infrastructure or AWS, there are many terms used without explanation, like "You can provision the server." Especially in the IT industry, which is referred to as the curse of knowledge, terms are often used without explanation in lectures, but this lecture explains most terms in an easy-to-understand way.
2. Appropriate Time
Lecture distribution with appropriate length, not boring.
3. Part Distribution Considerate of the Learner
The part I like the most.
The knowledge learned in Section 6 is applied in practice. Then theory appears again in Sections 7 and 8.
In a typical lecture, the order of Sections 6 and 7, 8 would have been swapped, but here, when learners' focus starts to drop, or when what they've learned is about to be forgotten, practical parts are assigned to increase concentration.
Also, even if you don't know the parts deferred until later, it doesn't significantly affect your ability to proceed with the practical part.
If parts frequently used in the practical section were deferred, the practical section would become difficult. If all parts were explained before assigning the practical section, learners would get tired by the time they reach practice.
This lecture proceeds with the Docker networking part deferred until after the practical section. While only planting anticipation for the Docker networking part during the practical part.
In a typical lecture, the Docker networking would have been distributed before the practical section. This lecture distributes it later, using practice to rekindle interest when things get boring and having learners review what they've learned just through the lecture itself.
Even if you're not interested in Docker, this is a must-watch lecture if you are interested in teaching methods.
