How to Write a Training Video Script (+ Free Template)

Training videos fail when learners watch but don't act. This guide shows how to write a training video script around a measurable outcome, whether you're starting from scratch, using a template, or converting existing materials, plus simple ways to evaluate impact.

Interactive Training Videos (+ How to Create One with AI)

Most training videos are easy to complete but hard to apply. Employees watch, click through, and move on without changing how they work. Interactive training videos take a different approach. Interactivity is the structure of the learning experience: what learners are asked to do. Engagement is the outcome: how deeply they think, process, and apply what they're learning. The most effective training videos combine both, using structured interactions to prompt real decisions and produce meaningful engagement.

How Much Does Employee Training Cost?

The industry benchmark for training spend is $874 per learner. Most L&D leaders either use that number to justify their budget or ignore it entirely. Both are reasonable, because on its own it doesn't tell you much. What matters is how your costs break down by program and by audience. This post walks through how to calculate your own number and how to use it to make smarter decisions about where to spend and where to cut.

Rethinking Your L&D Tech Stack

L&D often owns tools for content creation and delivery, while relying on other systems across the organization, like survey tools, intranets, and shared workspaces. Employees have always had different places they could go to learn. Now, AI has made it easier to access that learning in the flow of work. That shift is worth factoring into how you evaluate your stack.

What Is SCORM? The Complete Guide for L&D Teams

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is the most widely used standard for packaging and tracking eLearning content in LMS platforms. It allows courses built in one authoring tool to run across any SCORM-compliant LMS without custom integrations. There are two versions most teams choose between. SCORM 1.2 offers the broadest LMS compatibility. SCORM 2004 supports more advanced tracking and separate completion and success reporting.Newer standards like xAPI and cmi5 exist, but SCORM remains the default for most enterprise LMS workflows. This guide covers how SCORM works, how to choose a version, when alternatives make sense, and how to create a SCORM package.

An L&D Strategy Isn’t Enough. You Need a Roadmap.

How to Create Effective Video Lectures for Learning

Recording a lecture is not the same as teaching with video. Many educators discover this the hard way. Hours spent re-recording content, fixing audio issues, or editing slides rarely translate into better learning outcomes—especially when students are watching alone, asynchronously, and on their own schedule. Research consistently shows that attention drops quickly in long, uninterrupted videos, and that learning improves when content is intentionally structured, segmented, and designed for the medium. This guide walks through how to design effective video lectures for learning — grounded in learning science and practical experience — without relying on complex setups.
