Entry 6

Answers to three questions

Answer 1: There are three main differences between the video lecture and the infographic. Firstly, the infographic loses videos that the speaker uses as examples. Secondly, the infographic does not contain the explanations and examples that are told by the speaker. Thirdly, in the video lecture, the speaker and audiences have interaction. Audiences laugh when the speaker tells something interesting. However, the infographic cannot provide a platform for the speaker and readers to interact. 

Answer 2: In my opinions, the video lecture is much easier for me to understand the main idea. In the video lecture, the speaker tells the reasons or makes clear explanations about the main idea. What’s more, the videos played during the lecture, on the one hand, catch my attention; on the other hand, provide me with more vivid illustrations. However, when I look at the infographic, I can get the main idea directly, but I cannot understand why I need to do so to make the story readable. The video lecture is more complex, but it gives me more information to help me understand what the speaker says.

Answer 3: Watching the video lecture is a more enjoyable experience. People are always attracted by the video examples in the lectures. So am I. I really enjoy the video examples used by the speaker, which also makes the lecture more interesting. I also can understand the main idea easily. The infographic is colorful, but it only has small size words and pictures. I am bored to read the infographic.
