In today’s digital age, digital learning platforms provide employees with quick access to online training videos, which can be more efficient and cost-effective than traditional in-person training sessions.

Housing Associations can leverage these digital platforms to educate and engage their employees through informative and engaging videos.

This blog post aims to provide training managers with tips on how to produce educational videos that meet the needs of the Housing Association sector while also being interesting and engaging.

Leverage Smartphones for Easy Video Production

Creating good quality videos does not require expensive equipment. Nowadays, smartphones can produce professional-looking videos. Investing in a tripod and a microphone can improve the quality of the recording.

Take advantage of the smartphone’s video editing features to add captions, music, and special effects when necessary. This approach is relatively cost-effective and accessible, and it can help create engaging training videos.

Consider Professional Video Production for Longer Training Videos

While using smartphones for short and straightforward training videos is feasible, professional video production services can be employed for longer and more complex series of videos.

Professional videos have better lighting, sound, and editing compared to those produced on smartphones. These videos give your content a professional look and feel, delivering a more in-depth and engaging training experience.

Digital Learning Platforms

Digital learning platforms provide employees with quick access to online training videos, which can be more efficient and cost-effective than traditional in-person training sessions.

Empowering employees with knowledge through easy and convenient platforms creates opportunities for individuals to do their jobs better, improves engagement and job satisfaction, and delivers better results.

Tailor Content to Your Needs

To make a video informative and engaging, the content must be tailored to meet the specific needs of your Housing Association.

Mix the industry’s best practices with organisation-specific material, including company policies, customer service, and repair processes. This approach will help employees understand the company culture and enforce the desired values.

Update and Revise as Needed

A great instructional video is never complete. Continuous update and revision are needed to keep the content relevant and engaging. Adjust the language, visuals, and delivery of the video to ensure that it conforms to the Housing Association’s evolving priorities. Maintaining updated and concise content guarantees that employees get the most current information.

Conclusion

Educational videos are crucial in the Housing Association sector. To maximise their effectiveness, consider the scale of the project when deciding between a DIY or professional approach.

Tailor the content to meet the specific needs of the Housing Association, continually update and revise information, and use animations, graphics, and special effects for complex topics. These techniques can help create high-quality educational videos that inform and engage employees.
