Many sites are appearing on the Web offering IT training resources in various forms, for all possible subjects you could think of. These may be in the form of physical books, such as you would find in the specialist sites such as Amazon or Ebay, and lots of people still use books as the source of training material. There are also books that you can download in electronic format, known as E-Books, and these provide another useful source of information and training on all sorts of topics. Video Tutorials are now becoming even more popular, particularly since the widespread use of high-speed Broadband Internet services, since downloading and viewing video tutorials can take a lot of resources. Video allows you to have your teacher on the screen with you, presenting the topic in a step-by-step form and demonstrating the topics in front of you. This is particularly suited to teaching computer topics, as the video can show moving screenshots of how to perform the tasks. Our partner website, Silver Surfers Academy provides Starter packs of video tutorials, suitable for both beginners and more advanced, and gives access to our online shop where you will be able to get access to lots more video tutorials. Have a look at the free sample videos to see what great quality they are!
