Video Best Practices
Why Video?
Video is a powerful tool in the online learning experience because it engages multiple senses simultaneously, enhancing comprehension and retention. By allowing learners to absorb content visually and aurally at their own pace, video supports flexible, self-directed education that accommodates different learning styles. Additionally, it brings concepts to life through storytelling, demonstrations, and visual context, making complex ideas more accessible and emotionally impactful.
