Learning via video is becoming increasingly popular. Ready to get started? We explain everything.
The use of video in e-learning is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. Videos have the ability to engage learners and make the learning experience more interactive, dynamic and effective.
Videos can be used in a variety of ways in e-learning, from instructional videos that provide step-by-step guidance on how to complete a task or use a tool, to case studies that demonstrate how a concept or theory can be applied in real-world situations in integrative training. They can also be used to provide feedback and assessment, for example in the form of quizzes or interactive scenarios, which enable learners to test their knowledge and apply it in a simulated environment.
Benefits of using video e-learning
By incorporating videos into e-learning courses, you can create a more dynamic and effective learning environment that helps learners achieve their learning objectives.
3 key advantages of using video e-learning :
Video helps you respond to different learning styles
Video e-learning adapts to different learning styles. Learners, for example, may find it easier to absorb information via video than via text-only resources. By providing a variety of multimedia resources, e-learning can be tailored to individual needs.
Video stimulates commitment and motivation
Another aim of using e-learning videos is to increase engagement and motivation. Videos have the power to captivate and hold attention longer than other learning media. They can also be used to illustrate complex concepts or ideas, which may be difficult to explain using text or audio alone. Motion design is particularly well-suited to this type of problem. By making the learning experience more interactive and engaging, e-learning videos help to improve knowledge retention.
Video offers a flexible learning solution
And last but not least, video can be accessed from anywhere, at any time, making it a flexible and practical learning solution. This is particularly useful for those who need to adapt their learning to their schedule (work, family...).
How do I create e-learning videos?
Step 1: Define your learning objectives and target audience
Before you start creating your video content, it's important to define your learning objectives and target audience. What do you want your "learners" to achieve by the end of the video? Who are they and what are their learning styles? Answering these questions will help you create video content tailored to the needs of your audience.
Step 2: Plan your video content
Once you have a clear understanding of your learning objectives and target audience, it's time to start planning your video content. What key concepts do you need to cover? What examples or case studies can you use to illustrate these concepts? Think about the structure of your video: introduction, development, conclusion. It's also important to plan your visuals, including any graphics or animations you want to include.
Step 3: Write your video script
Once your plan is in place, it's time to start writing the script for your video. Here you'll write the dialogue or message that will be spoken in the video. Your script should be clear, concise and engaging, and should follow the structure you've outlined in your plan. It's a good idea to rehearse your script to make sure it flows smoothly and is easy to understand.

When it comes to recording your video, there are several options to consider. You can use a smartphone or webcam to record yourself, or you can invest in a high-quality camera and microphone for better audio and video quality. You'll also need to choose video editing software to edit your video.
Step 5: Record your video
Now it's time to record your video. Find a quiet, well-lit place to record and make sure your microphone and camera are correctly set up. If you're recording yourself, make sure you dress appropriately, avoiding small patterns or large brand logos, and speak clearly. It's a good idea to record several takes to ensure you have enough footage to work with.

Step 7: Add captions and subtitles
To make your video accessible to the hearing impaired or those who prefer to read along, it's important to add captions and subtitles to your video. This will make your video more inclusive and easier to understand.
Step 8: Publish your video
Once you've edited your video and added captions and subtitles, it's time to publish it! You can upload your video to a video hosting platform, such as YouTube or Vimeo, or embed it directly onto your website or a dedicated e-learning platform.
