Creating Videos for Online Courses
…very easily with your smartphone! Find out now on our new information page what you should pay attention to in planning, shooting, and also in editing videos.
Videos appeal to our senses particularly intensely and are therefore helpful for learning success in every age group. Whether as a brief explanation of a topic, as personal motivation, or as an impulse to implement what has been learned – you can use videos in many meaningful ways in training. Because one thing is clear:
As a trainer or coach, you are primarily a provider of impulses.
You can support participants in the training with various means and content in the learning process. However, the most important part of learning happens in the participant's mind. That’s exactly why engaging impulses are so important – and these can be perfectly implemented in the video medium!

Frequently Asked Questions from Our Customers About Video Include:
Isn't a video way too expensive to produce?

If I do it myself with my smartphone, doesn't that compromise my professional appearance?
Answer: We believe – on the contrary. A high level of authenticity/credibility contributes a lot to a professional appearance. As long as the sound is good in the video, your participants and clients will immediately overlook small slips of the tongue or similar issues. Ultimately, your content and your expertise as an expert are at the forefront!

How do I ensure that my content is seen?
Answer: You can't ensure that fundamentally, but you can do a lot to motivate your participants. The most important tip here: Keep your videos short! That’s exactly why we call short learning content “Blinks.”
