When it comes to the use of video in education, the over-riding theme — as we might expect — is more, more, more

58 percent of colleges are running flipped classes, up from 50 percent last year. Lecture capture has grown by five percentage points to 77 percent and webcasting has gone up by four percentage points to 51 percent over the same period.

In K-12, 87 percent of schools are using video in the classroom, compared to 86 percent in higher ed

More and more frequently modern employees expect video to be a factor in on-the-job learning. And not simply a dry, one hour VHS training course of the past. Good, relevant video content that impacts performance. We’ve outlined a few guidelines on improving onboarding with video here.

In an international poll each year, reaching over 50 countries, I ask people: “What is hot in L&D this year?” The choice of ‘Video’ has fallen down the table of ‘hotness’. In other words, it’s no longer considered exciting

In other words: video is now part of the way we live and learn today.

The average consumer watches roughly 206 videos a month, and 59% of senior executives said that if both text and video are available on the same topic, they are more likely to choose video.

Videos get 1,200% more shares than text and images combined. People love sharing content on social media and more importantly: people love sharing videos.

one-minute video is worth to 1.8 million words.

t might seem unnatural—impolite, even—to begin a presentation or demonstration without introducing ourselves to the viewers and explaining why they should pay attention to us. Combing YouTube™ or Vimeo, you'll find a plethora of educational videos that begin with a lengthy preface to the content. Here comes the Skip button.

Instead, try this approach: Mention your name at the beginning of the video, or put it on a title screen. You might put the name of the sponsoring organization here instead, if the video doesn’t feature a personal host. Don't mention the issue of credibility at all; this is established by the content itself. If it gives learners what they need, they'll pay attention. Use the video's title and hosting Web page to convey what the video will cover. Don't waste valuable screen time on this stuff.

It might seem economical or helpful to show multiple ways of completing a task within one video, but that's not how people generally consume this type of media. Assume learners are accessing your video at the moment of need, almost as if they're asking their coworkers for help over the cubicle wall. They want to get something done now. Most processes can be completed a few different ways, and most concepts can be approached from different angles, but you don't have to cover all of that in one video

Higher education institutions are increasingly using lecture capture to help their students, according to a 2018 State of Video in Education report from Kaltura. There was a 21% increase in lecture capture use by institutions over the last two years, up from 65% in 2016 to 79% this year. Lecture capture doesn’t just take place in standard lecture halls too, with 10% of all those responding saying they already capture over half of all classes, wherever they take place, and 31% keen to follow their lead. Overall, 88% of respondents across higher education and K-12 (primary/secondary schools) already use lecture capture tools or intend to in the future.

21% report that over half of their students are involved in creating (as opposed to simply watching) video; among higher education respondents, the figure is a little lower at 15%.

Closed captions are in use at over half (52%) of institutions today, while 34% use interactive video quizzes to help students learn more effectively. Mobile apps that make it easy for students to watch videos on the move, or offline, are used by 39% of institutions, and a further 53% are eager to add this capability.

We’ve seen the company do all it can to amp up one of its newer features by making live broadcasts more visible on your timeline, adding them to your trending stories and even notifying you each time a friend or someone you follow is broadcasting live. All of these are positive steps to give content producers real reason to take advantage of live video.

In addition, ‘Total Performance Insights‘ brings even better analytics to video including two really outstanding features: the ability to measure stats on video crossposted to multiple pages and a heatmap that allows 360 degree video creators to see the areas their audiences are honing in on.

5. Create your Own Videos It truly is about time you shed the camera-shyness and step into the limelight. There is nothing more powerful in an eLearning setting than a person’s voice talking to a distant student. The key is to speak clearly and provide subtitles in your videos. A great start is to create a “introductory” video for learners and other professionals that may want to learn more about you. Think of this “about me” video session as a personal narration of your updated CV. The passion and enthusiasm you bring into your video will be your selling points. With video creation and editing tools like the ones on YouTube and your smartphone, this should not be a problem at all. Screencasters like Jing, Screencastomatic and several others will help you capture complicated topics on your screen and illustrate them clearly. Also, encourage videos as a means for your learners to introduce themselves. Videos create stronger connections in an online learning environment.

Watching Netflix isn’t the only way higher ed students consume video. It’s also become a regular part of their educations. Kaltura’s The State of Video in Education 2017 report reveals that 99 percent of institutions have teachers who are regularly incorporating video into their curricula. “Today’s students expect to learn with the help of video, while prospective employers expect them to leave education with the skills necessary to participate in a digital culture,” reads the report. From lecture capture to in-class assignments, universities are increasingly looking for new ways to make use of video. Here are three key takeaways from the Kaltura report: SIGN UP: Get more news from the EdTech newsletter in your inbox every two weeks!

Tout dispositif de formation qui veut capitaliser sur les usages du Web et des smartphones devra toujours plus compter avec la vidéo. Ça tombe bien : les plateformes de video learning arrivent ! Capture, enregistrement, tagging automatique par la reconnaissance (voix, image), édition, diffusion sur tout périphérique… des plateformes séduisantes.

Le Social Learning d'abord… ou Video Social Learning (VSL) si on veut, et la montée en puissance du video-coaching ! Expérientiel aussi, comme les exemples plus haut le montrent. Quant aux usages de la vidéo en présentiel, ils n’ont rien de nouveau (Cf. par exemple les jeux de rôle filmés dans le cadre des formations commerciales à l’entretien de vente, depuis des décennies).

Autres fonctionnalités en pointe : enregistrement, édition, partage des videos, etc. Sans oublier l’accès à des catalogues déjà existants. Le tout dans l’environnement de l’apprenant et du formateur, qui offre des outils de prise de vue et d’enregistrement provenant aussi bien du smartphone ou d’une caméra portable que d’un studio vidéo (pour des formations structurées, à l'instar de ce qu'on trouve dans les MOOC). C’est ce que proposent les nouvelles plateformes (intégrées) de vidéo, aussi dites « video management system» ou « video content management system », à l'instar de Panopto ou, d’une certaine façon, de Workday Learning (mais on attend d’en savoir plus). Coexistence avec les plateformes LMS ? A suivre.

The international survey of 1,000 respondents shows a boost in the use of video in distant learning, with almost half wanting to experience video in at least 50% of their classrooms

The results reveal a boom in the use of video for remote teaching and learning with 66% of respondents stating that their institutions now use these capabilities, up from 28% in 2016

Interestingly, 39% of those surveyed state that students studying remotely at their institution are already using video-based solutions to join live classes and lectures, while a further 49% are keen to add these capabilities to their offerings. Remote video capabilities are also being used to let presenters who are not based at the institution to teach and lecture to students, with 54% of all respondents saying that they are already benefiting from this.

n addition, the 13.1 billion YouTube videos viewed in September is the lowest in the 13 months since comScore changed its reporting methodology and is nearly 30% lower than the 18.6 billion videos viewed a year ago in Sept. '11 and almost 650 million lower than its Aug '11 total of 13.8 billion videos. (YouTube's record high was 21.9 billion in Dec. '11)

Research shows that by the end of the year, the majority of organizations will be using video as part of their digital training strategy. Video caters to many types of learners and is engaging, memorable and fun. It’s also increasingly becoming a cost-effective way to deliver complex information in a short time. Video can be used effectively in several different areas: Description Demonstration Documentary Dramatization

So how can you incorporate video into your elearning courses? Here are a few simple ideas.

Keep It Short.

In particular, the use of video can be of huge benefit—but only when done correctly. Here are some tips for effectively incorporating video into your training.

Keep it Short

According to some Google researchers, the ideal video length is between three and three-and-a-half minutes

Video-enhanced learning tools however are relatively inexpensive to produce, can be viewed when it’s convenient and without the need for travel

Live presentations can be recorded and time stamped, so when they are used for training, managers can refer to specific sections according to relevance. This saves time and increases engagement with the subject matter.

The ease with which videos can be produced also provides companies with the ability to take control over their training processes,

only about 30 percent of video assets on YouTube make up almost all video views of the views on the site. Or, put another way: 70 percent of all YouTube videos are barely viewed at all.
