Higher education is today facing a “perfect storm” of change, as Jeff Selingo, the top editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education, termed it.
Most of it is created by the pressures of economics and technology and prominent observers place video based learning, near the eye of that storm.
A study of college undergraduates shows that the use of interactive video in a learning environment, significantly increased learner’s performance and satisfaction, as compared to the traditional classroom environment. Moreover, integrating video based learning enhance learning outcomes by directing student motivation, increased engagement, learning on individual’s pace and by harnessing the power of storytelling.

Some key benefits of the Video-enabled learning are:
For Students – One of the key benefits for the students is to revise their lectures anytime especially before exams. Watching the video multiple times with an ability to pause and resume increases the concept retention and helps them in deep subject understanding and therefore it improves their grades. Effectively students never miss a class, in somehow they are not able to attend the school they can watch the lecture anytime.
For Teachers – It’s an excellent tool for teachers to get a self instructional feedback and therefore getting a huge opportunity to improve their teaching styles. Teachers can now collaborate effectively using the platform, therefore improving the Student-Teacher Interaction.
For Institute – The scalable solution certainly gives them an edge, improving their branding. Both the professors and students contented with the platform helps in better learning, making student acquisition better. Management has access to several reports to measure and track the outcomes and to make sure their goals are getting met.
