Online training videos and classroom instructional videos are becoming an indispensable tool across the educational spectrum. Anymore, a video isn’t just a slick little gimmick to slap onto a course, devoid of impact and mostly useless.
With sites like YouTube and TeacherTube inspiring ordinary people, educators, and course developers alike to create their own videos, it’s no wonder that instructional videos have fleshed out in terms of functionality.
With the right tools, anyone can create a video. And with a little planning and forethought, anyone can make an online training video or other instructional video not only to supplement learning content, but to work with it as an integrated and vital part of the course material. Videos can work hand-in-hand with other formats of content in a course to make them an enriching and essential backbone of a course.
From training courses (including compliance and other kinds of training) to online high schools, including video is smart for a number of reasons.
In both online training courses and face-to-face courses and training programs, online training videos are able to engage the student and illustrate complex concepts using images and demonstrations. A video can bring a classroom to life and create interest for the learning content.
Another function of instructional videos in a face-to-face or group setting is that it can create a common experience for trainees to share and discuss.
Online training videos are convenient and allow for dynamic instruction any time. An online training video can be easily made up if a student misses a class, and it can be distributed via a learning management system (LMS) so that it is available for students to review any time they choose, at the click of a button.
