Benefits of video-based learning.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then video may be worth a million or more. Here are some benefits of video-based learning:

1. Adds life to the e-learning course by making it effective and engaging.
2. Increases learner engagement and participation.
3. Reduces cognitive overload and maximizes retention.
4. Provides a simpler and practical learning experience.
5. Is a cost-effective training approach.

Create engaging video-based learning content.
Here are some tips your association can use to create and offer engaging video-based learning content for your members.

State clear objectives. Set clear goals to produce and provide effectively-designed videos, with a focus on meeting your learners’ goals.

Keep them short. If you have a lengthy training module, break it up into bite-sized nuggets which range from one to two minutes.

Include voice-over. When learners are left by themselves, the text or visuals in a professional development video need to be supported by audio.

Incorporate captions. Studies show captions increase the completion rate of video from 40% to 80%.

Record your screen. A simulation or recording proves to be more helpful, and it makes learning more enjoyable and memorable.
