There's little doubt within the education industry that eLearning marks the next frontier for both academic learning and corporate training. Studies have shown that learners appreciate the convenience that eLearning brings to learning experiences by allowing learners to complete and revisit material at their convenience.
This holds true in the cases of advanced VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) learning software, which provide those undergoing training the complete practical application experiences through eLearning.
And perhaps nowhere can the potential of eLearning be seen more clearly than in the incorporation of video-based learning into eLearning experiences.
Why Video-based Learning Works
Everyone knows the old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words," and extending that line of thought to video leads to a predictable conclusion. What is sometimes more glossed over is that this quote is rooted in science.
Not only do humans process visual information incredibly quickly, but experts also indicate that humans put images away in long-term memory, while relegating words to short-term memory storage. Given this information, it only follows that educational videos are a fantastic way for educators to transmit information to learners.
How You Can Incorporate Video-based Learning Into Your eLearning Experiences
When considering the potential efficacy of video-based learning, some educators may be tempted to over-incorporate it into their learning experiences. Given this impulse, it may be harder than you think to use video-based learning in your curriculum effectively, so here are some do's and don'ts for using video-based learning experiences in eLearning:
