eLearning Video Production: The Complete Guide (2026)

This comprehensive guide examines how to produce effective eLearning videos that remain relevant as organizational processes change. The author distinguishes between production methods (screencast, live-action, AI-generated, animated) and instructional approaches (direct instruction, explainers, scenario-based), then walks readers through five production steps: scripting, scene planning, tool selection, building, and publishing. The piece emphasizes that the real challenge with eLearning videos is being able to keep them up-to-date when things inevitably change, so they remain a useful resource.
