Strengthen learning with interactive, choice-based content

What are interactive training videos and why use them?

A common limitation in professional development is the linear structure of typical training content. While a straightforward presentation is useful, it misses out on one of the most effective methods of learning: making mistakes. When employee training is focused on rote knowledge gathering, there is a tendency to gravitate towards a test-taking mindset where facts and figures are kept in mind just long enough to answer questions and then quickly forgotten. By allowing for choice and branching narratives, employees become more directly invested in the process, leading to greater long-term retention.

When and how should I use an interactive training video in training?

Interactive training videos are a great solution for a variety of employee training. One of the benefits of interactive video is its ability to engage the audience at a deeper level. Instead of just presenting information, the audience is incentivized to pay attention to detail so that they can correctly respond when asked a question. This gives each learning experience a level of challenge that is both entertaining and confidence building.

How long does it take to produce an interactive training video?

Interactive videos can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. The development phase for these videos can take longer than typical corporate video production, depending on the amount of branching needed to build an effective interactive scenario.
