Time and again, studies have proven that visual learning is far more effective than textual learning. Most people are able to recall up to 65% of the visual content they consume as compared to merely 10% of the content they read. Educators and instructors all across the world have, therefore, shifted to visual aids like videos and PowerPoint presentations to facilitate learning—the former gaining more popularity in recent years.
While educators almost unanimously agree that ‘the visual and auditory nature of videos appeals to a wide audience and allows each user to process information in a way that’s natural to them’, creating effective videos is not everyone’s cup of tea. Scripting, recording, shooting, editing videos can be too much of a hassle for facilitators who are already struggling with the 100 other tasks on their plate. However, there is an easy way out for this–screencast videos, a low-effort alternative for making effective and informative videos quickly.
