Whether as study materials for a course subject, e.g. entrepreneurship or for dissertation project literature review, YouTube videos are useful e-learning materials. I have a few advice for their usage as follows:
Step 1: One can start by watching a video, e.g. one on sociology and entrepreneurship.
Step 2: A follow-up on the study of a YouTube video is to identify some of the academic terms mentioned in the YouTube video and then do more study on these terms by doing further reading via google search and YouTube search.. For the YouTube video on sociology and entrepreneurship, 2 examples of these terms are social network and social capital.
Step 3: watch the YouTube again a few times to refresh your memory.
Step 4: If you find the topic important to your course assignment work or dissertation literature review work, you should do additional literature search to study some academic articles on the topic covered in the YouTube video. In our case, this is sociology and entrepreneurship.
Students need to also bear in mind that, when doing university course assignments and dissertation projects, YouTube videos are not considered as credible and authoritative references. So, their main use is as easily comprehensible study materials for private intellectual learning purpose, primarily topics (e.g. academic topics) new to the student-learners. AVOID using them for referencing in course assignment and literature review works.
