Promotes Retention
Did you know that our brains process visual information much faster and retain it more effectively than text alone? Videos leverage this power by combining visuals with audio. It helps create a multi-sensory learning experience that fosters long-term retention.
Ensures Scalability
When it comes to rapidly growing organizations, the scalability aspect of training materials can be a big challenge. Either the selected training method is going over the budget or some employees might be left out because the training material isn’t ready on time. Regardless, it can be a major setback to both training ROI and company growth.
For such situations, video-based learning is a respite. You can easily create and share videos across a large workforce. This eliminates the need for repetitive in-person training sessions or coordinating virtual sessions time and again. It not only saves time and resources but also ensures consistency in the delivery of training content.
Allows Flexibility
Instructor-led Training (ILT) mandates learners to be present at a specific place and at a specified time. Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT) offers flexibility of place but needs the learners to be available during the session. But video-based learning needs no such requirement. Learners can take up the training course anytime, anywhere, and proceed at their own pace. This flexibility caters to busy schedules and on-the-go teams.
