Podcast & Videocast

Summarizing the video
The vedeo explains the way of converting a scanned image to a text file. According to the video, there are three steps to complete this process. The three steps are: Downloading the ocrtool softwar, opening the scanned document via the Microsoft and save it, and getting an image in the ocrtool.

 Do you think this videocast is more effective than a podcast?  Why?

Although the vediocast was interesting, I don't think that it is more interesting than podcast because I experienced pod-cast but not vediocast. I know it is not a good answer for the question, but I really love pod-casting and enjoy it a lot.
 
Do you think that this kind of simulation videocast is an effective way to learn new skills?
For sure, whenever we experienced new things, we would learn something new. So, I think vediocast is something enough for someone who loves learning new skills. There are a lot to be learnt in vediocast just like podcast.  So, what I am asking my school is that helping us learn new technologies by providing such kinds of ways. Technology is science and fun. We can learn new skills in technology without being tired for a moment.
