: Quick diet of the slide, really about my complaint about the visual and my misunderstanding of the of the lift situation. There’s the button I pressed when I first got stuck in the lift and then I realised oh, there’s another yellow button here. I didn’t know that OK, let me press that one. With a little face and I was expecting somebody to talk to me, but nobody talked to me anyway. Then, now beaming this lift many, many times, I never ever noticed but you see up here is this little symbol and in small writing it says 20 seconds. So, I’m supposed to press this button for 20 seconds. I would not have known that I would not have picked that up. I don’t know if you agree with me, but I think that’s that sticker is in the wrong place. It should be somewhere here or even in yellow, yeah. So, you can put visuals, but if they’re not obvious, you know and not gonna get it. So now when I go and lift, I’m always gonna look at for something like this and which also reminds me you can put visuals there. But how many times have you seen people trying to pull a door when it says push on the door? You know, I’ve done it myself so we can recognise it. But there’s sometimes a disconnect between the information, the communication and what we do. : All right. : Let’s have a look at some more visuals, right? IKEA furniture, who’s been involved with building furniture? You know, I guess we all have at some point or other, not my favourite task. And luckily, I don’t do it that much, but you know if we have a picture that shows us, you know, what screws should we use? What other gadgets, tools should we use? Where do they go that makes it so much easier? Yeah, and trying to read about it so that’s really helpful. So that’s another visual way of communicating. Another way is actually well, combining visual and auditory, you know a video. I think this is a really good idea and often watch videos if there’s something technical. I think how do I do this? How do I how? I don’t know, empty my dishwasher of whatever it is. Or how do I put salt in? I don’t know where the user manual is, let me find a video. : Maybe we’ve all been there, but you know this is visual and auditory. So, you watch you listen, that’s a great way of getting the information you can scroll back, pause it and so on. So, you’re in control of absorbing that information. Probably you find the right video and that kind of thing. So, we’re going through the VARK model, we’ve been talking about visual. We’re talking about auditory, another auditory one here, audio books. Favourite of mine, maybe some of you like audiobooks. Remember, this is also about how you absorb information. So auditory for me, I like that cause I can listen to an audio book or a podcast when I’m tidying up or whatever. : However, I have to admit that if it’s a nonfiction book, for example or even a fiction, and mostly nonfiction is what I look at. I do like to have a hard copy of the book because then I feel like I can control the pace of it. You know I can stop when I want to go back and read, I can make notes I can highlight. So again, it’s about personal preferences and combining what works for you, yeah. So maybe if you need to send a message to somebody, you know you’ll record a voice message which they can listen to again. You might even follow up with an e-mail or a text message or something, you know. So, there are different options I’m not saying just use one. But think what would work best and what would that person like and what would you like, What’s your preference as well. So, with the VARK then we’ve learned about visual, auditory, and then we’ve got reading and writing. Sorry my mouse is disappeared, there we go. Reading and writing, maybe you prefer to make your own notes, you know. You get some information, and you might think, OK, I’m gonna digest this and make my own notes, you know, to understand it better, that’s entirely up to you. These are different ways of absorbing information.View preferences00:33:44 Bina Champaneria
