SHARE

It is estimated that YouTube videos are viewed 4 billion times daily and Vimeo videos, 715 million times monthly. This is far beyond a trend, an avalanche, or possibly a stampede. 

The History of Moving Pictures  

In 1890, William Dickson unveiled the Kinetograph, a very basic motion picture camera. Over the years since, moving pictures have all but replaced live shows in theatres worldwide. Enter home movies with 16- or 8-millimeter cameras, the movie disk, beta, and VHS tapes, the DVD, and now streaming. Motion pictures, and now video, have enchanted us for more than 100 years.  

New Trend – Video for Training

Recently, video has gained a key role in educational and professional training. Roles that take advantage of our apparent love of motion pictures.  

Action is engaging, compelling, and can strike a deep chord in our hearts, think of a movie you love or despise. Strong feelings indeed.  

According to a Brandon Hall survey, 95% of companies use video to train employees worldwide.

Still Not Convinced – Why Video? 

  • For the Young and Not-So-Young: People of all ages watch videos daily as part of their entertainment, work, and family routine. They are familiar, informative, and rewarding.  
  • A Comprehensive Medium: Video uses images, sound, color, and the storyline to reach more of our senses. Creating an immersive experience that touches and stays with the viewer. 
  • User-Centric: Putting the learner in charge of what she is learning with video is rewarding, efficient, and helps to enhance engagement and retention. Video gives the learner control over the pace, focus, and review of critical content. 
  • Effective and Efficient: Studies have shown that learners gain more via the audio-visual delivery format of videos – as opposed to paper-based, or slide-based presentations. Additionally, a large amount of material, specifically critical learning content, can be packed into short bites (microlearning), which shortens training time and increases retention. 
  • Train When and Where It Is Needed: Learners using mobile devices can reap the benefits of just-in-time and on-demand learning. Whatever the users need, they have access to knowledge, support, and refresh, all with video eLearning 24/7.
