PrintWith the onslaught of social media based videos, sometimes it’s incorrectly dismissed as a pure entertainment form of media. While audiences do love and share entertaining videos, they are also receptive to learning from them as well. With endless statistics telling us about the boost in engagement, retention, and interest video provides, the use of videos in education is the next big step in improving the way both children and adults learn in our technological age.
Video works well in education for a variety of reasons. It provides a flexible teaching medium that allows staff and students to learn at their own pace, when it is most convenient for them. This is why the number of people with university and college education has increased significantly since the introduction of online higher learning. Additionally, videos are praised in the education and internal communications field for facilitating learning and problem solving effectively.
Video changes the way staff and students learn, boosts attendance, creates stronger alumni relations, increases the chance for success and influence learning outcomes the increase the student experience overall.
Use Questionnaires and Surveys for Testing
Ensure that students understand and are retaining what they learn by utilising questionnaires and surveys for quizzes and tests. You can easily see the results in real time (and track who still needs to answer) within the VidCorp platform.
Easy Landing Page Creation
Direct students to the correct information with easy-to-create landing pages. With education, you want to make things as easy to find so those learning aren’t shuffling through documents or scouring your website to find what they are looking for. In the long run, landing pages provide the ability to drive the learner directly to the quiz, a PDF or a specific section of the website via a relevant text or email.
Embrace Micro Learning
With video, your staff and students can experience all the benefits associated with micro learning. This medium allows people to consume bite-sized content while on the train, on the way home from work or on their lunch break. Flexibility is one of the most attractive parts of learning for many students.
