Video learning is using videos in learning new skills. It can use pictures, graphics and sounds. It is interesting way for learning because students can keep the materials withing them and they can go back to them whenever the need.

It is also easy to share the material especially in the e-learning.

Video learning is an effective way to learn and get interactive. It makes the process of the learning is more interesting.

One of the benefits about Video learning is that it allows the videos are accessible for learners at anytime and anywhere. It allows a huge number of learners to benefit from the materials, so instead of having 30 students in the class at the tradition teaching way, you can have like 30,000 learners around the world who can get benefit from the video.

You have to keep in your mind some elements:

1/ Keep it short. when it is short it will be formative, manageable and interesting.

2/ Make it interesting. Use some graphics, sound effective, pictures and text.

3/ Interactive. you can allow your students to answer some questions. Stop the video and ask questions.

Finally, If the picture can speak 1000 words, videos can speak Million words.
