1. Learn from experts on each topic in each subject to build on your lessons and your teachers’ work with you;

2. Build a knowledge base from a growing library of videos and associated resources. Even develop an interest and/or understanding of subjects outside of your course of study to broaden your education.The more you learn the more you will see the interconnected nature of knowledge and the world;

3. Use for revision. Easily watched at home, on your mobile phone, tablet, laptop, etc. the videos provide an easily accessible format for revising when the need or the pressure arises. Remind yourself of the key debates, issues and questions involved in each subject;

4. Watch before a class to enable you to get the best out of that class. Be in a position to ask questions and start debate; key skills in getting the best grades and getting on at university;

5. Watch after a class to reinforce and build on what you have learned;

6. Develop learning strategies. Learn how to learn;
