Educational Videos 📹

If you’re a visual learner, educational videos are a great way to supplement your learning. You can find videos on any topic, and many are free to access on platforms like YouTube.

Gamification 🎮

Gamification is a method of adding game-like elements to learning. It makes learning fun, interactive, and encourages learners to engage more in the material being taught. It can involve points, badges, rewards, and leaderboards to track progress and motivate learners. For example, Duolingo, a language-learning app, uses gamification to make learning a new language feel like playing a game.
