Let\u2019s cut straight to the chase, people are getting bored of information being bombarded on to them daily. This is mainly because the routine information is plain, stale and irrelevant. Let\u2019s extrapolate this aspect of onslaught of lifeless information to people who are learners\u2026 think of the level of boredom they\u2019ll face while at it… And we\u2019ve not even broached the topic of e-learning yet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Having said that people dread drudgery; appeal, allure and amuse are the new catchwords. Everything around needs to \u2018catch the eye\u2019. And when it comes to e-Learning, the scene is no different. \u2018Catching the eye\u2019 of the elearner is what everyone in the e-learning domain is trying to master. Some are doing a good job at it, while many are failing. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

E-learning? Boring\u2026? Who Said?<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Piquing interest of the elearner is not a big deal, because one simple thing that needs to be remembered is that the learner should constantly be kept engaged i.e., throughout the time he\u2019s learning, the aim should be to keep him glued to learning. To put it in other words, learning should be more of a two-way process<\/strong>, where it should interact with the learner. So to say, it should be interactive and more of dialogues than monologues. And what could serve the purpose better than videos. Hence, interactive videos<\/a><\/span>! <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Howdy, Interactive Videos!<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The USP of interactive videos<\/a><\/span> is\u00a0its interactions, both, graphical and narrative. It\u2019s these interactions of the interactive videos<\/a><\/span> that up the engagement factor for the learners. The interactions are brought about by the <\/span>addition of <\/span>immersive interactive elements<\/span> such as images, elaborating text, links, quizzes, <\/span>questions, calculations, lead generation forms and many more to the video itself<\/span>. <\/span>Any type of video can be made interactive<\/strong>, tailor made to the T, with almost limitless interactions plugged in. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These interactions appear as hot spots, that pop up while the learner watches the video. <\/span>This serves as an opportunity for him to not just watch, but to click, swipe and otherwise engage in the video-watching process. If a response is not provided or is (in case of questions) incorrect, the video won\u2019t proceed. Hence, in interactive videos<\/a><\/span>, user participation is a must<\/strong>. Remember, earlier in the write-up was a mention of keeping the learner engaged.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
