Enhance video-based learning with interactive tools for instructional design
The secret to improving video-based learning design
Interactive video not only enhances instructional design, but it’s also never been easier (or more collaborative) to create these types of experiences.
But why does it work so well? Interactive video:
- Boosts learner engagement and knowledge retention by the very nature of the format
- Allows students to interact directly with content through clickable elements
- Supports branching scenarios for a much more personalized learning experience
- Works seamlessly with online courses and LMS platforms
Powerful tools for creating compelling videos
- Clickable hotspots: Add interactive buttons and links to guide students through curriculum
- Branching scenarios: Create personalized learning paths to ensure no learner gets lost or left behind
- Quizzes and assessments: Test knowledge directly within your videos (and boost retention in the process)
- LMS integration: Embed interactive videos into your organization’s e-learning platform
- Cloud-based collaboration tools: Teams and stakeholders can co-edit and provide real-time feedback

WeVideo allows instructional designers to craft compelling and interactive videos to showcase their curriculum. Thanks to its interactive features ranging from multiple choice questions to branched learning pathways to embedded discussions, educators can build experiences that engage learners wherever they are — whether they are learning in person or asynchronously.
WeVideo offers a wide variety of interactive features alongside a more advanced video editing software. But don’t be fooled — you don’t have to have any experience making videos to be successful with WeVideo. Some of our customers’ favorite features include:
- Clickable hotspots that allow you to embed an interaction right in the video
- Branched learning options to engage with different types of learners

- LMS integrations with most major education platforms that make the process of uploading videos seamless.
- Cloud-based collaboration that allows teams to work together in real time, from anywhere they have internet access
Of course you can add quizzes and clickable elements to your videos. However, you can do much more than that with WeVideo. Start discussions, take polls, and even have AI Assist to help you come up with new ways to engage your audience.
