Education as we know today is undergoing a transformation; thanks to the ubiquitous nature of videos. Students are no longer restricted to the confines of their classrooms and libraries. Videos give them the freedom to access learning content anytime, anywhere.Instead of the traditional ‘chalk and talk’ mode of teaching, videos prove to be a more effective medium due to the sensory experience that comes along with it.
This stands verified as 68% of teachers who have participated in various polling studies on this subject believe that video content stimulates discussions. As a part of this study, 42% are also of the opinion that video directly increases student achievement. Thus reinforcing the importance of having videos a part of the learning curriculum. Having said this, if specific learning objectives are not determined in advance before integrating videos in courses, it may not have the desired impact on the learning process.
Moreover, video interactivity is an important aspect that one needs to consider in video courses. An interactive and engaging video transforms a learner from being a mere spectator to an active participant in the learning activity. This is where Exaltive can help.
Exaltive helps add interactive elements such as buttons, annotations, chapters, images in video courses. By facilitating the setting up of small exciting quizzes throughout the course duration, it boosts learning retention and keeps students focused. That’s not all. Using rich interactions like Table of Contents (TOC), search and links, a learner can also control the flow of the video and branch out to the relevant video section of his/her choice.
To sum it up, there is never a dull moment with Exaltive. It will provoke learners to think, analyze and absorb information with its innovative storyline making passive video learning a thing of the past.
