The possibilities
What is an e-learning video?
Many manufacturing companies experience high staff turnover and a varying production offering. Therefore, it is essential to keep the learning process as short as possible so that employees can add value quickly and for an extended period. Digital tools such as instructional videos are an ideal solution for this. In a targeted video, the installation of a product is explained clearly and visually. By having e-learning created, all knowledge is easily accessible on demand, which is of immense value not only for the learner but also for the company itself.
Creating e-learning can serve various purposes. It can be intended as a document for internal instruction or as maintenance support for the end user. Moreover, more companies are developing instructional videos for technical products with an eye on the international market. By shipping products in partially assembled form, shipping costs can be reduced, and the final assembly can be carried out by local parties. In addition to providing significant cost savings, this also reduces the travel time of technicians.
The development of an e-learning video
If you are considering having an e-learning video made, there are various formats available. One common form of e-learning video features an instructor explaining and demonstrating knowledge. Additionally, explanatory animations are increasingly being used, where 2D animation or 3D animation illustrates an abstract or difficult-to-film phenomenon. For example, this could involve explaining the flow dynamics in a pipeline or providing assembly instructions for a specific product. An emerging trend is the use of interactive video. In this format, the viewer is presented with various choices, and based on this input, the course of the video is adjusted. This allows for the creation of a tailored e-learning video series in a relatively straightforward manner.
The 6 advantages of e-learning with video
Always Available. As the name suggests, e-learning is online. Whether you want to quickly look something up on your mobile device while on location or brush up on your knowledge in the evening on the couch, it's all possible!
Pause, Rewind, and Fast-Forward. If something isn't entirely clear, if you want to go step by step, or if you need specific information, an e-learning video makes it a breeze.
Knowledge Assurance. By creating an e-learning video, important company knowledge is stored and secured.
Transferability. The knowledge is easy to transfer.
Varied Course Offerings. Keep the learner's attention by offering a mix of text, video, and interactive elements.
Lifelong Learning. This is a frequently mentioned and increasingly important motivation for many employees, and it is also essential for the ongoing development of your organization's quality.
