Traditional Learning vs. Guided Learning
As explained in the video, here are some key differences between traditional learning approaches for family history and the Guided Learning approach.
| Traditional | Guided Learning |
| 1. Search for articles and videos to use. | Use industry-leading articles and videos, selected for you. |
| 2. Get stuck watching or reading non-essential content. | Quickly get to the major points of articles and videos without skimming. |
| 3. Settle for non-interactive learning. | Take advantage of built-in study tips and questions. |
| 4. Learn solo. | Have a cool AI avatar guide you through the learning process. |
| 5. Wonder how you can practice the skills you are learning. | Enjoy Practice Exercises in Guided Learning videos, linked to The Family History Guide. |
| 6. Be unsure of what comes next. | Enjoy the structure of the Guided Learning video library and learning objectives in The Family History Guide. |
| 7. Get too much info when you are just looking for highlights. | The “I Have a Question” video series quickly introduces topics and hits the essentials. |
