"Video is one of many techniques that can keep people engaged," St. Laurent says. " But far too often trainers, supervisors and safety professionals alike have not had any guidance on simple techniques. Tragically, they lose out on impacting their audience and compelling them to take action."
St. Laurent explained various techniques for getting the most out of videos in training, including:
setting up and debriefing a video;
- asking open-ended and closed-ended questions;
- compelling participants to take action with a strong conclusion;
- using suspense;
- using the fourth wall and role-playing by yourself or with a person;
- getting others to lead a debate/discussion;
- finding video resources legally and ethically.
