How to Make Your Training Videos More Interactive and Accessible

Creating effective training videos can be a challenge, particularly when it comes to engaging your audience and making the content accessible to everyone. Fortunately, with the right approach and the right tools, it's possible to create engaging, interactive training videos that cater to a wide range of learners.

This guide outlines three key tips and strategies for making your training videos more interactive and accessible. We’ll also highlight key Weet features that can help you achieve these goals.

Tip 1: Use Interactive Elements to Engage Your Audience

One of the biggest challenges with training videos is keeping your audience engaged. To help combat this, it's important to include interactive elements in your videos that encourage viewers to participate and engage with the content.

Some examples of interactive elements you might include in your training videos are:

  • images
  • annotations
  • interactive transcripts
  • icons
  • interactions
  • and more!

By incorporating these features, viewers can reinforce their knowledge and stay engaged throughout the learning process.

Weet’s platform allows you to create and embed icons, images, and interactions directly into your videos, and transcripts make it easy for viewers to follow along and engage with the content.

Tip 2: Make Your Videos Accessible to All Learners

Another challenge with training videos is making them accessible to everyone, regardless of their learning style or ability. To ensure your training videos are accessible to all learners, consider:

  • Providing closed captions and transcripts for your videos
  • Using simple language and graphics to make your content easier to understand
  • Optimize for mobile viewing

To do this, consider creating different versions of your training videos that cater to different learning styles and abilities, using data to inform your content, and encouraging feedback and collaboration among your viewers.
