What are interactive videos /modules and why use them for training and educating?

Interactive training videos combine the informational teaching techniques of training videos with the interactive functionalities of gamification, multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, 360 immersive experiences, and high-quality video content.

Interactive training content has a higher retention and completion rate because interactivity increases engagement.

These videos can also be combined with other interactive features, like quizzes or branching narratives, to enhance the learning experience.

By offering choice and branching narratives, learners become active participants, which leads to better learning outcomes.

When and how should I use interactive training videos?

Interactive video is used across all industries. This could be something day-to-day like assisting a customer during a difficult moment or following proper procedures. Or it could be as serious as providing medical attention or even police encountering a dangerous situation.

However, this risk can also involve something highly technical, like assembling an aircraft engine or reinforcing an educational topic. In any case, the goal of an interactive training video is to provide a learning environment where the learner is "safe to fail" and practice often, allowing them to grow.

Challenge

After a successful first project with NextThought, ISA wanted to build a second course to complement their Signs 101 course. This companion course needed to be engaging and comprehensive, consisting of 6 modules.

Solution

NextThought transformed the dry, definition-heavy content into a captivating story about the life of a sign. To elevate the material, NextThought infused vivid illustrations, interactive hoverable callouts, dynamic click-and-reveal features, and detailed flow chart graphs. Our expert learning designer meticulously crafted the flow of information and ensured seamless client communication.

Result

The content was dramatically enhanced, transforming it into a highly engaging and educational experience for their audience.

How long does it take to produce an interactive video?

Interactive videos can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. The development phase for these videos/modules can take longer than typical video production, depending on the amount of branching (“choose your own adventure”) scenarios needed to build effective training content.

NextThought uses Storyline to design and deploy interactive learning projects. We can create something completely new for you or follow an existing look. As an expert team, we’re here to serve you however you need.

What are the benefits of interactive videos?

Interactivity increases engagement. You can fight short attention spans with interactive video content that includes drag-in-drop, 360 environments, tutorials, and gamification that make training sessions more fun and effective for your learners.

Interactivity provides real-time feedback. Unlike linear video, clickable hotspots and multiple-choice options allow learners to grow through trial and error. Plus, it offers trackability for learning teams and instructors to document improvements and completions.

Bottom line: These types of videos and modules offer an interactive experience that both captivates and educates learners.
