Hello and welcome to this video/blog in which we’ll talk about why your training videos may not be as effective as you think they are. The challenge with Training Videos is that you cannot make them as branched, interactive, or clickable like standard eLearning courses.
Hence, the shortcomings that we’ll discuss now, creep into your video lessons and make them less effective.
You can either watch the video or read the blog, below.
So, here are the top 3 reasons why your training videos may not be as effective as you think they are:
Lack of Relevance
The first reason is lack of relevance. If your videos do not address the needs or concerns of your audience, with the right content, they may not be interested in watching them. To fix this, you should do a thorough analysis to understand your audience’s learning needs,, preferences and then create video lessons that address those specific learning gaps. Also, ensure that your audience prefers to learn with video lessons.
Lack of Engagement
The second reason is lack of engagement. If your videos have a dull or dated design, your audience may not pay attention, and therefore, not retain any information. To fix this, you should try to make your videos more engaging by using storytelling techniques, incorporating real-world examples, or using animations and graphics to help illustrate your points. You could also consider using humor or adding a personal touch to make your video training more relatable to your audience. Another way to increase engagement is by keeping your videos short and focused, as longer videos may lose your audience’s attention. Remember, you aren’t making a movie. 😊
Poor Quality of Video and Audio Production
The third and last reason is poor quality of video and audio production. If your videos are blurry, have poor sound quality, or are poorly edited, your audience may get distracted, and lose interest. To fix this, you should invest in good quality equipment and editing software, and ensure that your videos are well-lit, and have good audio quality.
In summary, if you want your video trainings to be effective, you need to make them engaging, well-produced, and relevant to your audience’s needs. By following these tips, you can create training videos that will capture your audience’s attention and help them retain valuable information.
