Videos are a powerful way to support learning, helping students understand complex topics through visuals and audio. You can upload videos directly to LearnWorlds or use videos from your connected Vimeo or Wistia accounts.
Examples of How You Can Use Video Learning Activities
- Add lecture-style videos to explain a topic in detail.
- Use tutorial or demo videos to show how something works.
- Include animated videos to make learning fun and engaging.
- Add customer testimonials or case studies to business-related courses.
- Upload short explainer videos as introductions to course sections.
In this article, we will learn how to add a video learning activity to your course.
