Video is easily the most essential tool in training today.
This is because people like to watch. Just consider YouTube, the 3rd most popular website on the planet. Approximately 23% of online users visit it every day. And it is only Five years old!
And when you consider the fact most people are increasingly visual learners, and video is incredibly effective.
Video is a major factor of the training course. Equally essential is choosing the right video, one which will come across your training objectives. Here are some important tips to ensure you get the best video.
1. Retain attention? May be the video engaging? In case your trainees don't watch, they won't learn. Pick a video that's engaging and enjoyable to watch.
2. Is it simple to use? Will the video include suggested agendas? This can save you time and get a training program ready to go quickly.
3. Is it current? Feathered hair and leg warmers will forfeit your audience quickly. Select a video made in the last decade.
4. Industry appropriate? If you're in health care, avoid showing a hospitality video. It's important to select a video that's industry-neutral or perhaps in a range settings.
5. Clear learning points? After watching a video, do you remember the key learning points? It is important that learning points are clear and simple to remember.
6. Will it show rather than tell? A poor video talks about behavior, a good video shows behavior. If you want talking, try a sound recording instead.
7. Production quality? Will the video scream "training video?" Your trainees are increasingly sophisticated media consumers. Look for quality: something that looks like a tv program.
8. Right length? A 1-minute meeting opener won't facilitate much learning. Pick something with solid content but brief enough to meet your schedule.
9. Right level of skill? Is it aimed at entry level or executives? Select a video you heard right for the audience.
10. Delivery method? What meets your requirements - DVD, web, or video files? Ensure the video is available in the format that fits your needs. Make certain you precisely the right medium for your needs.
11. Support materials? What's the quantity and excellence of support materials? Are you allowed to make copies of support materials, or will you be prompted to buy additional expensive workbooks, etc.
Follow these simple guidelines when deciding on your new training video, and you're guaranteed to have enjoyable, effective training!
