Our training team is considering adjusting video settings from “learners can move backwards and forwards after completing the course or lesson” to “learners can move backwards or forwards.” We plan to keep “users can change the playback speed.” Our concern is by changing these settings, learners can essentially move through a video without watching any of it and the lesson would be considered “complete.” We conducted a month long test to see if a change in settings would change the median time in a course and the time hardly altered which was interesting!
We would like for our learners to have the ability to go backwards and relisten/rewatch training material for increased accessibility while still ensuring learners take the appropriate time to watch training in its entirety.
Questions for the community:
- What video settings do you currently have in place?
- What are some best practices you use to ensure your learners have options for accessibility but also digest training fully?
- Please feel free to add any other insight / ideas!
