Goodbye PowerPoint: Make way for video and interactive guides!

In a constantly evolving professional world, continuous learning is essential to stay competitive.

However, traditional methods — paper manuals, static PowerPoint presentations, or lengthy theoretical sessions — often struggle to capture attention and support real knowledge retention. Fortunately, modern technologies offer powerful and engaging solutions. Among them: video and interactive guides.

Why choose interactivity?

Interactivity drives engagement. When employees actively participate in their learning, they retain information better, feel more motivated, and are more likely to apply their knowledge in real-life situations. That’s where video and interactive guides come into play.

1. Humanizing learning

Video allows us to see faces, hear voices, and perceive emotions. It humanizes messages and strengthens the connection with the content.

2. Simplifying complex concepts

Visual demonstrations, animations, or filmed scenarios make it easier to explain technical procedures or customer situations.

3. Adapting to different learning styles

Some people learn better by watching or listening rather than reading. Video offers varied approaches to reach a broader audience.

4. Access anytime, anywhere

Integrated into a learning platform or shared via link, video enables employees to learn at their own pace, regardless of location.

Interactive Guides: Active and Personalized Learning

Unlike static documents, interactive guides include clickable elements, quizzes, personalized paths, or embedded demos. They turn the user into an active participant in their own learning journey.

Here’s what they enable:
  • Testing knowledge throughout the process with quizzes or mini-games.
  • Accessing content on demand, based on personal needs or skill level.
  • Accéder à du contenu à la carte, selon ses besoins ou son niveau.
  • Exploring a process step-by-step with visual, hands-on instructions.
  • Receiving immediate feedback to correct mistakes and improve understanding.

Combining video and interactivity: The winning formula

Imagine an online training where a video introduces a concept, followed by an interactive quiz. Then, the learner can click through different scenarios tailored to their needs. This multimodal approach significantly boosts attention, comprehension, and knowledge retention.

The Alpha Learning Tip:

  • Keep videos short and focused (ideally under 5 minutes per topic).
  • Use real-life cases from your own organization.
  • Design visually appealing guides with smooth navigation.
  • Integrate checkpoints to ensure learning is progressing.
  • Promote repetition and autonomy to strengthen memory.
