Wow. It’s a little surreal to see YouTube build an “interactive” video learning playhead similar to ones I and others have built in our past.
It will be interesting to see how YouTube balances current incentives for long videos compared with online learning often being better delivered in many cases through short videos, known by many names (bite size videos, micro learning).
Learning videos are a lot of work to make and even more work to update, and updates are guaranteed. This provides some tools but whether it eases the workflow wha to hope will happen, it would empower a lot of subject experts.
Structured content is a great idea. Hopefully this won’t go away like the previous features for annotating and interactive in the past.
Having offline capabilities for this learning content is important if it is learning for the many and not the few.
YouTube in some ways is the worlds largest LMS already from a content perspective. We just may be heading into a post LMS world.
