It’s one of the world’s biggest search engines with its daily use extending far beyond just fun and entertainment in the hours before and after our 9-to-5. And video for learning is on the increase.

And it’s not just happening in one platform. For our purposes, as L&D professionals, there are many different ways to create and distribute successful moving image projects.
