With the increased use of social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Instagram Reels, Youtube Shorts, etc. short form educational videos are becoming more essential in the realm of instructional technology and design. For this project, we were tasked in creating videos that educate an audience in a short amount of time. I was able to create videos using my environment, family, and friends, and learned a lot myself in the process.
These short-form videos forced me to span a broad range of topics that I could educate an audience on in a 2 minute time frame or less. Since I am not that knowledgable on a wide variety of topics, I ventured out to my family, friends, and peers to create some fun, informational videos that were engaging and interesting.
Creating short-form video based learning experiences is on the rise with the intensive use of Tik Tok, Instagram Reels, Youtube Shorts, etc. as attention spans are decreasing, IDs need to find creative ways to continue teaching their audience in effective ways that promote success in knowledge retention.
