How Effective is Video for Learning?
According to the latest research...
Well-produced and well-designed video can also have a powerful emotional effect on learners. It is a particularly important medium for students who have grown up in a digital age. Students more easily identify with topics or approaches that are represented through video presentations. (Bates, 2022)
Video has emerged as one of the most powerful and widely used formats for delivering training and instructions, regardless of who your audience is. 83% of people prefer watching videos to accessing instructional or informational content via text or audio.
Keep this in mind: research is demonstrating that using video in learning improves student performance. Notably, in a study by researchers at the University of Maryland, videos, especially interactive videos, improved student performance by as much as 30 percent.
Interactive video permits user-driven decision-making and a sense of user control. This can enable a more personalized learning experience and greater choice for the learner. Videos can be structured to permit learners to select based on their role, staff level or knowledge gaps.
