The Case Study Lesson

Video case studies represent some of the most widely accepted and engaging forms of video content that you can create.

Great for history lessons and for teaching concepts that showcase solutions to common problems, video case studies provide educational insight to your audience without making them feel bored or otherwise tired of what they are watching.

As you plan out a case study lesson, consider the following:

• The original problem and solution that you will include in your story.
•  
• The storyline and characters that are involved.
•  
• The plot and how you will deliver the history or background.

Consider the use of testimonials or interview style scenes in the video case study to showcase how the progression of the story will play out.

The How-to Video

How-to videos represent one of the easiest ideas for educational videos that are most widely viewed and accepted. Think about YouTube and all the searches that take place on the platform monthly or daily. Most of them relate to “how to” perform a particular task or project.

Whether you’re trying to teach a classroom full of kids, build an audience for your brand, or show customers how to get the most out of your products or services – the how-to video represents one of the easiest and most effective forms of educational content.

Break up your how-to videos into short, easy to understand concepts. If you’re going to teach a complex topic, consider several how-to videos that are built around a common theme and which progress from one completed step to the next.

Educational Interviews

Key concepts are often more widely accepted when the education comes from someone with a background in the niche and has history or authority on the topic. For example, if you’re looking to educate your customers on the technical details of your products, consider an interview with your IT or tech support team. 

Likewise, if you’re looking to build credibility for your brand so that new customers will purchase your products, consider interviewing your past customers. 

Educational interviews can be used in a variety of ways to break up the monotony of the typical customer testimonial while delivering a captivating back and forth conversation that answers key questions related to whatever concept it is that you’re trying to educate your audience on.

These are just a few ideas for educational videos that you can use to get started. For more ideas or for help producing educational videos, give Beverly Boy Productions a call at 888-462-7808.
