In today’s age of visual information, where the majority of people learn better by accessing visual content; images and videos have gained immense popularity in online courses, enabling the modern learners to engage more and retain for long. Learning Management Systems (LMSs) which support video-enabled content is very powerful, like emails, video-based courses can be delivered across all departments of the company. Using a modern e-learning platform and adopting an effective video strategy, individuals can learn at their own pace of time and location.

In today’s modern workspace, videos have proved to be an ideal method for training and development. It is crucial to create an environment that supports the delivery of video-based e-courses which can be used by multiple departments at a time. Let us explore the key features of an efficient video-supported LMS in a corporate training environment:

Learn at your own pace

Today, companies are investing in a continued training experience to keep their workforce updated on the latest e-learning trends which help to boost their knowledge competency. So, videos have proved to be an effective tool for a continuous learning experience as short video nuggets can be accessed on personalized mobile devices anytime and anywhere. A video-supported LMS imparts self-paced learning experience by allowing the learner to play, pause, fast-forward or rewind video content and seek knowledge at their fingertips.

Videos save money

Several organizations depend on expensive classroom-based training sessions, even today. However, companies can save their money by shifting to a blended learning approach using a video-supported LMS. For instance, sales managers can create their own video content as short nuggets which can be utilized as learning nuggets in the future also.

Boost scalability

By improving global scalability, video communication is becoming more effective than ever. As per a research by Cisco, “94% of executives value videos as a significant way to remove language barriers in today’s increasingly global marketplace.” Using a modern LMS, videos can be easily uploaded and shared with the globally diversified audiences.

Tailored learning paths

Different organizations ask their management teams to provide facts and figures in terms of Return of Investment (ROI), employee performance and more. For instance, sales management systems collect data and evaluate reports based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). LMSs are integrated with such systems to analyze learning paths for each employee based on their performance indicators and accordingly training courses are assigned to individuals. To fill the skills gaps of sales employees, managers provide different kinds of e-courses via LMS in the form of short videos on topics like time management, skill management and more. The content delivered as short bursts help to boost the overall employee performance and workplace productivity.

Access to offline courses

LMS supporting video content helps to improve the overall learning experience but tends to take up internet bandwidth and slow down internet connectivity. Therefore, organizations use mobile LMSs through which learners can access offline courses on their personalized mobile devices. This enables learners to access the relevant training material, wherever and whenever they need.

More secure platform

Training content developed by organizations is their intellectual property, and so are the videos. Platforms like YouTube run the risk of private information being leaked from one-to-one training clips to product demos. Therefore, it is crucial for organizations to use the new-age LMS where the admin enables the content sharing capabilities, grants control to specific users as per the customized needs, thereby making the video platform more personalized and secure.

Game-based learning experience

By including interactive gaming elements in the form of points, scores and badges, learning proves to be effective in improving employee retention and collaboration. Modern LMS supports game-based learning approach to motivate the learners as well as provide a self-paced learning environment. For instance, while watching a short video, learners can play a quiz, earn points and compete with others which boost their engagement and workplace efficiency.

Instant search

Today’s tech-savvy learners want to consume content at the speed of their search. A video-based learning platform provides the users with the significant criteria to create a searchable database. As a result, it becomes easier to upload videos on the LMS, add metadata and tag videos on the basis of different categories, thereby ensuring the delivery of a personalized learning experience.

Curation

An efficient e-learning platform supports the delivery of engaging video content which results in a uniform learning experience. Giving control to users results in the development of a customized platform for the company. Curation helps the managers to use the platform for coaching. This method proves to be fruitful as it allows the managers to reach out to their employees, whenever they want to. Video-based courses boost social interaction by allowing the users to like, comment or subscribe, thereby experiencing a personalized content delivery and control their own professional development.

With the ability of brain processing visuals 60k times faster than textual content, the scope of videos is considered as one of the emerging solutions for the modern enterprise. Tenneo (formerly G-Cube LMS) LMS also supports upload and management of video-based learning content with a fully adaptive UI. Comment, like and playlist creation are some of the significant features for the modern LMS users. Video-supported learning platforms are the way of the future with an ability to support offline course access, personalization, security, curation and other features.
