Video is an important part of your eLearning design and development. In the context of today’s eLearning environment, you need to use video to engage your learning audience. The video production you do has to be at a level that will attract and retain your viewer’s eyes and minds in a world filled with all kinds of visual attractions. In the eLearning environment, you must be a video producer and director and understand that video is more than just holding your phone, although your phone is quite capable of taking great video. You need to think about the best way to navigate your way through a pretty complex process. And keep your costs as low as possible.
