2025 is the year of the snake. But what’s this got to do with educational learning video production? Quite a lot, it turns out.
In the Chinese zodiac, the snake symbolises transformation and adaptability, and that’s what the top educational learning video production trends are bringing to the table.
In 2025, the focus will be on trends that transform traditional approaches and adapt to learners’ ever-evolving needs.
Incorporating Interactive Elements for Active Engagement
Integrating interactive elements such as clickable hotspots, in-video quizzes, and real-time polls is set to become an integral element of educational videos. By transforming passive consumption into active participation, learners are encouraged to engage directly with the content rather than simply sit back and watch.
Putting this into action could mean a video on scientific experiments allowing viewers to choose different variables and see simulated results in real-time, while an explainer video could simplify complex historical events and include a quiz at the end to unlock the next “level” of information.
This active involvement sustains interest and encourages deeper learning by encouraging critical thinking and the immediate application of concepts. Interactive videos also provide instant feedback, helping to identify knowledge gaps and reinforce understanding of a specific topic.
Creating Personalised Microlearning Content
Platforms like TikTok have become hugely popular for their short-form videos and personal recommendations. In 2025, the demand for personalised microlearning videos looks set to grow, too. By providing personalised recommendations, you can guide viewers toward complementary resources, maximising their educational journey and letting them take control of their learning.
From a production standpoint, microlearning videos emphasise polished visuals, clear and concise scripting, and impactful storytelling. Advanced editing techniques, such as motion graphics and kinetic typography, are often used to enhance understanding and maintain viewer attention.
The focus on brevity and clarity challenges creators to distill complex information into digestible, engaging formats, ensuring that every second of the video adds value.
Enhancing Immersive Learning with VR and AR
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are game-changers for educational video production. These immersive technologies transport learners to environments and otherwise inaccessible scenarios, creating unforgettable learning experiences that encourage and stimulate retention.
Using cutting-edge tools to design custom VR environments or AR overlays, video production teams can create content that aligns perfectly with the curriculum and enhances visual storytelling. From VR videos allowing medical students to practice surgeries in a realistic virtual operating room to AR-enabled videos overlaying 3D molecular structures onto a textbook, there are numerous ways to integrate this innovative tech into educational learning video production.
Whether used on their own or integrated with other formats, these technologies also blend well with other trends, making them all the more versatile. From bite-sized clips to full videos, AR and VR have enormous potential in the video production space.
