Care managers are fast-discovering that eLearning is an incredibly cost-effective way to train their care staff. However, some people remain unaware of the reasons why video-based eLearning is favourable over text-based. Below are some key reasons as to why this is the recommended way of eLearning:

Attention Grabbing - Videos are more likely to grab the attention of a viewer, this is due to your eyes being more attracted to movement over something that is static, and non-eye-catching.

Videos Engage Viewers - A video can take information and make it easy for the viewer to interpret. Your brain processes visuals much faster than text. 90% of the total information transmitted to your brain is visual. Your brain is capable of processing visuals 60,000 times faster than text!

Video Content is Memorable - Most people require a visual aid to learn, which text-based eLearning cannot offer. Viewers can retain 95% of a video's message, as compared to 10% of a text-based message! You are able to package much more information and the message you are conveying into a short narrative, as opposed to having to read loads of text.

Most of the other social care eLearning competitors tend to use text-based eLearning, which is also aided using stock images that have been purchased. However, at BVS we provide video-based content which has been created by filming professional actors in real care settings .

These are just some of the reasons why BVS are the number one choice for social care eLearning!
