Running an online skills platform means creating clear, engaging content that resonates with diverse learners. Over time, we’ve refined a toolkit that allows us to create instructional videos efficiently. Here’s a breakdown of our process and the tools that help us achieve this.

1. Organize and prioritize content: We start by mapping out our training modules, carefully sequencing them to make sure each skill builds on the last. Using mind-mapping software helps us visualize and organize these steps before going into video production.

2. Script it out: Once we have the structure, we script each segment, keeping the language accessible yet precise. Scripting ahead of time not only keeps us organized but also ensures we’re sticking to our mission—clarity over jargon.

3. Bring in the visuals with Stack Video: For instruction-heavy content, stack videos work brilliantly. With LivGen, we can convert each section of our course into a series of slides, where every slide covers a unique concept or skill point. The structure helps learners absorb information bit by bit, with the visual flow making the information feel less overwhelming. Paired with voiceover explanations, these videos act as mini “how-tos” that support every learner's pace.

4. Final review and testing: Once we have the final cuts, our team tests the videos internally to catch any last-minute tweaks or adjustments. By going through these final steps, we ensure that the videos will be intuitive and highly effective for our audience.

Each component in our workflow serves a purpose, from scripting to visuals to feedback. For anyone in education, consider tools like LivGen’s stack video feature to help structure training material into digestible, engaging pieces.
