Someone taking it wants help with the subject. Give those two jobs separate videos, with a clear purpose for each. ![Group attending a training session in an office](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/training.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Mikhail Nilov / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-giving-presentation-in-office-9301152/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Choose which learner you're speaking to Use the overview to explain the actual audience, format, and participation route. For a lesson, choose an existing unit with one learning objective. A worked example and a relevant comprehension question can show whether the point is understood. Attendance and demonstrated understanding should remain distinct. ## Before writing the script Bring the curriculum, approved teaching material and program terms, with a reviewer who knows the subject. Check which terms your audience already knows and who will update the film when the program or process changes. Use clearly fictional people and records in examples. ![A hand drawing a chart on a whiteboard](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/whiteboard.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [cottonbro studio / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-person-writing-on-a-whiteboard-6803528/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Check what people take away Put the overview beside the course offer and the lesson inside the course. Ask prospects about format and expectations; ask learners to work through the specific task. Those checks serve different purposes. Keep both films grounded in the actual program and its approved teaching material. ## Related reading - [Turn a training topic into a useful lesson](https://caprivideo.com/guides/corporate-training-video-production) - [Explain what a learning-platform progress bar means](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/edtech-explainer-videos) ## Related pages - [Industry group: Education & community](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector) - [A little more background: Turn a training topic into a useful lesson](https://caprivideo.com/guides/corporate-training-video-production) - [Help prospective students picture the program](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/university-explainer-videos): Show the stages, choices and application route for one real program without confusing an overview with an admission promise. - [Help families understand how tutoring begins](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/tutoring-explainer-videos): Explain the format, communication and first discussion while keeping expectations grounded in the actual program. - [Explain what a learning-platform progress bar means](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/edtech-explainer-videos): Follow course assignment and learner activity into the reported status, distinguishing completion from demonstrated understanding. - [Show supporters what their contribution supports](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/nonprofit-explainer-videos): Connect a documented problem with the organization's real activities and distinguish plans from demonstrated outcomes. - [Help members use the benefits they've joined for](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/membership-organization-videos): Show where members access a few real services, including conditions that differ by membership type. - [Explain the position and how people can get involved](https://caprivideo.com/industries/education-public-sector/advocacy-explainer-videos): Keep sourced facts, the organization's views and real participation options clear throughout an advocacy film. ## See your offer as a video We create a free watermarked video for your business from your website.
