Regardless of your career, you will definitely need online resources to enhance your learning; especially if you are in the tech field such as programming, data-science, marketing e.t.c.
Out of a lot of people that fall into this category, I have often heard people say I don't have data to download my courses.....
Internet data can be a huge barrier for your learning, especially when you have bogous video tutorials to learn. Some video tutorials or courses consume up to 10, 20 gigabyte or more.
There are shortcuts that will save you from this stress.
First of all, you don't have to download the whole course at once!. You should learn to derive ease out of any difficulty that hinders you from learning. You can download it bit by bit.
Will that not still consume data?
Yes it will, but you can opt in for night plans, most of the Nigerian service providers have night data plans. Using MTN as an example. MTN night plans give 2G for #200, between 11:00pm to 6:00am. You can download one or two modules (sections) of your course with that, watch and learn that during the day.
Sometimes, you might not be able to finish what you downloaded in one night in just one day. Unless you want to deceive yourself, courses are not movies, there are some you have to watch over and over again. Don't be surprised when you spend 2 or 3 days on that module (section) you downloaded in one night, with just #200!
You can then download the following sections as you go, when you need them, Isn't that amazing?
