From the table, it is clear that the two other Youtube channels have
more overall subscribers, numbers of views on their most popular video,
and total channel views. This, however, does make sense. The reason for
this is because Sali Kaceli’s channel for example, has the most amount of
subscribers. I believe the reason for this is that his channel his started
posting Microsoft related videos. This means his viewers have been able to
count on him over the last six years to keep producing quality content on a
consistent basis. For Surfwtw’s channel, he began making Microsoft videos
a little later than Kaceli did. Surfwtw’s channel also isn’t just solely
dedicated to helping people with Microsoft. It is also a channel that he
dedicates to making music covers. With a split interest displayed on his
channel, it is quite possible that his current subscribers are going to look
elsewhere for help going forward.
At the moment, your channel among the three, is the newest. This means
there is plenty of room for growth as well as improvements!
The steps I recommend Consist Tables:

Regarding the first suggestion of textbook assisting, many students at


Centennial College find that the wording of the textbook to be misleading
and even at times, confusing. One of the suggestions is that in addition to
leading students through the steps visually, you could also reword the
instructions for them. Going forward, this could better enable students to
understand what the textbook was attempting to convey.
Additionally, you could have a video explaining as
well as demonstrating some of the wordier
instructions from the textbook. You could
comprise a list of said instructions from your
current semester’s students as it is likely that
future students will run into similar issues. This
may take a good chunk of time to accomplish
but I guarantee students around the world will
be thankful for the time and effort you put into
furthering their education.
Secondly, the suggestion of including closed captioning in every
video is an important one. Currently, some of your videos offer that option
but I noticed that it is not consistent with every single video offering it. As
is, your channel is more geared towards aural and visual learners. 4 That is
already phenomenal but what would make it excel would be adding closed
captioning to every video. If you decide to incorporate that, it opens the
door for a whole other group of people that learn in a verbal-oriented way.

This is another action that may take some time to be fully integrated into
the channel but it’s efinitely one of those actions that you’ll feel the positive
effects of long after you’ve completed the captioning.
Thirdly, I noticed that some of your videos are a considerable length of
time. This is a great quality to have as it means you thoroughly go over
every aspect of the topic being discussed in each respective video. One
minor adjustment you could make to each video is having timestamps in the
description. This could enable students who are short on time to easily
maneuver their way through your videos to find the content they require.
Additionally, if those students find your time stamped videos useful, they
may just link it to their friends which will help your channel/videos gain
views!
Fourthly, I have noticed that not all people begin with an understanding
of how any of the Microsoft applications work. It can be safe to say that
tutorials for beginners would be beneficial to people who are trying to
either return to the workforce after a long time or for someone who has
never encountered these applications before. It can be complicated to try
and figure out what sort of things a beginner may or may not know as you
take for granted the knowledge you already have. Starting with simple
actions such as teaching someone how to save a documented in a specific
folder or renaming it a specific name can be a starting point to ease into.
Students who previously lacked the beginner knowledge will be extremely
thankful once they understand the basics and can make use of your more
advanced videos to further enhance their technological skills.
Lastly, I believe it will overall benefit you as well as your channel to stay
consistent. Consistency provides a sense of security and is comforting to
most people as they will be more inclined to stick with you if you’re
someone they can count on. Providing this feeling of support will ensure
loyal subscribers.
Remember that the You in Youtube is referring to the viewers rather
than the owner of the channel; the viewers are what keep a channel afloat
after all! Keep on trying to improve even when everything seems to be
going well as there is no limit as to what someone can achieve. If you keep
striving for excellence and bettering your methods of teaching, there is
nothing but success coming your way.
