Every person has a learning style. Some learn best visually, while others are auditory learners. However, many people like videos because they combine auditory and visual elements. Teachers find that video can enhance learning, lead to higher completion rates, and encourage learners to return when new content is released. Microlearning is the preferred method of learning for many. They enjoy the short learning bursts and can view them anywhere they have an internet connection. How can an instructor enhance online learning with cutting-edge video technology?

Standardized Experience

Many educational institutions create online learning videos with Epiphan Connect to ensure a standardized experience. Once students learn to operate the video player, they are set. They spend more time learning and less time navigating new systems, so they get more from each course they choose to take. 

Accessibility Features

Ensure students can easily find all accessibility features so they make them part of the online learning experience. Learners are less distracted when they can do things like toggle sounds on and off. They customize the learning environment to meet their needs, which allows them to get the most from each session. 

Language Options

Students come from all over the world. They want access to the best and brightest people, and technology allows them to do so. More people benefit from the information when course materials can be translated and delivered in multiple languages. The material can also be shared globally, so more people learn it. 

Searchable Transcripts

Learners know how frustrating it is to have a question, and they must go back to the video to find the answer. Rather than making them do this, the producer should have an audio transcript students can search. The student can enter a keyword, and the system will take them to that section of the transcript. Follow-ups may be part of the transcript. Once the student reviews the material they searched for, the system may take them automatically to the next section to keep them engaged. The same can be done with interactive transcripts, so students go directly to the material that interests them. 

Mobile Responsiveness

Many people turn to online learning because they want easy access to interesting courses. They may want to access the material when they are on the go. For example, a person might view a course on the train to and from work daily. They make the most of every minute and get more done in the time they have. Mobile response viewing allows them to do so on their preferred device, making students more engaged and increasingly likely to finish the coursework. Furthermore, the platform should detect the connection and determine the best audio and video bit rate to reduce the risk of buffering. 

Instructors focus on the material they present in their courses but often overlook the importance of choosing the correct platform to create learning videos. Students won’t view the videos or get the most from the course if they aren’t engaged. The goal is to create an optimized experience for learners so they engage with the material. The course won’t be successful, and the instructor will have wasted their time. Avoid this by using Connect to bring people together. Students will be engaged and enjoy the class more, while the instructor will be proud to know they have shared their knowledge and experience in a way that matters.
