Application and examples

Educational video market

Learning videos are popular on video portals such as YouTube because they are usually free and help you understand the content better. Well-known providers for such web videos are, for example, the Khan Academy , The Simple Club , SchulLV , Crash Course , TED , Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell , Flip the Classroom and sofatutor. Instructional videos can also be included on DVDs for magazines. Video2brain , for example, sells its own range of educational video DVDs .

Learning videos in teaching and training

In the field of school and university education as well as further and advanced training in companies, learning videos are used to support and supplement what has already been learned or to make the content available in video form or online. A large majority of students would like to use YouTube in a university context. In face-to-face lessons, learning videos are used to explain facts in a more understandable manner and to focus on topics that are difficult to put into words and need to be captured graphically. Learning videos can also be used as online tutoring and follow-up work or can be made in order to better process the material yourself. For young people, they are often a more exciting alternative to traditional learning methods. In addition, they are usually free of charge for consumers, but mostly still bring in money for producers through advertising. Chats and discussion areas usually serve as a supplement to the video content.

Explanatory videos are also often used in the field of market communication , for example for marketing films , product films or image films . Learning videos are also increasingly used when learning new skills such as sports or foreign languages. Using tablet computers and smartphones , learning videos can also be viewed on the go ( m-learning ). They can also be used as a crash course or reference work (e.g. for a software function). Furthermore, a learning video can be used to avoid repetitive questions and problems to explain over and over again (see Frequently Asked Questions ). Live-recorded tutorial videos can become part of a web seminar .

Creation of learning videos

In addition to classic video editing programs , authoring software and presentation programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint , Prezi or Adobe Captivate can also be used for creation . The screen recording is done by a screencast program. In addition, a camera can be used to record certain things (such as blackboard and whiteboard notes ), a microphone to speak and explain the facts and a webcam to work with facial expressions and gestures . In addition to a normal graphics program, special programs for whiteboards, such as Open-Sankoré or those for creating diagrams, such as a mind map , can be used for drawing . Spoken information and texts are supported by additional videos, images and audio files.
