6 Steps To Create Effective eLearning From Videos

If you feel like you’re missing out on any of the opportunities listed above, take a look at the steps our multimedia team outlined for creating effective eLearning from conference videos.

1. Clean Audio Capture

Audio is a critical feature of video, and it shouldn’t be neglected. Make sure you properly mic the speaker and the room.

2. Focus at Least One Professional Camera on the Speaker

Keep a camera on the speaker at all times, even if something interesting is happening elsewhere in the room. Ideally, bring an extra camera for different angles, audience participation, and presentation materials.

3. Access all Digital Files

On the subject of presentation materials, make sure that you’re not relying on a camera to capture what’s happening in the slide deck. Ask for access to digital files such as the PowerPoint decks after the conference. These will provide high-quality images for the next step.

4. Incorporate Adobe After Effects

Once you have your high quality raw video, clean audio, and presentation materials, it’s time to take the presentation to the next level with After Effects. Using the power of motion graphics, you can highlight important information within the slide decks, create on-screen captions, and more.

5. Wrap in SCORM

When you’re satisfied with your video, wrap it in SCORM with an eLearning Authoring Tool like Storyline so that you can take your creation from video to eLearning.

6. Implement Knowledge Checks and Activities

In your authoring tool, create knowledge checks to track viewer understanding. You can also add interactive activities to help your learners engage with the conference topic.
