Tips for Training Videos and E-learning

• Avoid time-dated information. For the greatest longevity build your video to facilitate learning objectives and direct the viewer to supporting companion material (online or hard copies) that details any information that might change in the not too distant future.
• Keep it short. Even a great motion picture can lose a viewer’s attention after a relatively short period of time. Organize your content into short manageable modules or videos.
• Don’t try to be too clever. Remember your goal (to teach) and the goal of your viewer (to learn). It’s nice to have an entertaining training video but coming across corny or overly glib with the content can undermine those goals. Important and relevant information delivered in a professional form is the foundation of a good training or e-learning video.
• Don’t be too boring or dry. Notwithstanding the above tip, have some fun with your video. Don’t be too dry or pedantic in your approach. Yes, it’s important to deliver factual information but a little levity and entertainment can go a long way to holding your viewer’s attention.
