Animated Videos

Animation: For fun, for accuracy, for brevity, and for engagement

Animated videos are quite popular, and can fill a variety of different roles in training: Short, quick interface updates with a bit of jaunty music to set the tone can communicate a small update to a policy or software interface without bogging the learner down with a lot of extraneous information. A common avatar can be a great way to indicate continuity across a series of training videos. The addition of fun animated characters can break up the monotony of a dry topic, and well-paced on-screen animated motions and movements can help maintain engagement while drawing the eye to important details.
