There is little doubt that the educational model is going through major change to meet the needs of the 21st century citizen. The days of rote-based learning from expensive textbooks are coming to an end, and the same can be said of physical attendance and its inflexibility and cost. The traditional model as we know it is fast becoming obsolete. One key trend changing the student learning experience is the introduction of interactive video for remote attendance. And it's not just for students, educators also want to take advantage of remote attendance and flexible schedules, instead of being tethered to a physical classroom. How video enhances the learning experience? Video integration into the learning experience

has many benefits for students and educators alike. The advantages are well documented through a large number of reputable studies indicating how short-form video improves not just attention but also the final exam scores. Some of the benefits of video integration include accessibility. A video can be viewed at any time. With traditional physical attendance, students often had to attend classes at a fixed time. It makes the learning experience much more accessible, removing barriers of both time and location. Backslash dot analytics. Engagement statistics can be viewed, tweaked, and optimized through interactive video. This can also include pools, quizzes, and surveys for rapid-fire feedback about the quality of the material. Creativity. Students can become more creative as they are learning through a more

creative medium, especially as compared to learning from a textbook with no formatting, visuals, audio, or interactive elements. Comprehension. Research has demonstrated that dynamic and interactive videos can aid comprehension, particularly for complex topics where abstract ideas need to be represented in a visual format. Engagement. Increased use of visuals and dynamic elements can help to get students involved and engaged, instead of passive attention where little information is retained. Fun, not to be overlooked, students enjoy the learning experience more if they absorb information through interactive video. They don't get bored and can be more involved in the material. Flexibility, students and educators can save time by not having to physically attend a class.

This is a major cost saver as it means that woefully expensive accommodation can be rendered redundant and students can spend more time on leisure activities and self-development. The air a few drawbacks and many benefits to the integration of interactive video into the student learning experience. This includes not just university settings but any educator to student relationships such as personal development coaching, online courses, tutoring, and more. However, while it may be obvious that the future of learning lies in interactive videos, success is going to be a function of the implementation. It's one thing to have an insight into current trends, such as AI, Web3, IoT, etc. It's an entirely different thing to take strategic advantage ahead of other market participants.
