Did you know that 75% of employees are more likely to watch a video than read documents, emails, or web articles? At Tesseract, we understand the unique ability of video to captivate, educate, and inspire your learners, leading to improved knowledge retention and application on the job. We believe in leveraging the visual and auditory elements of videos to communicate information, facts, concepts, theories, and skills to learners.
Our video-based learning solutions are designed to:
At Tesseract, we don’t just create videos—we engineer learning experiences. Let us help you unlock the full potential of video-based learning and elevate your workforce with our comprehensive, ecosystem-based approach. Video-based learning works both for independent learning scenarios and instructor-led teaching, and we know the precise way to bring the best of both worlds together.
Our video-based learning solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing learning ecosystem. We leverage video to enhance and complement other learning methodologies, ensuring a comprehensive and effective training program. Here’s how we do it:
Microlearning Videos: These are short, focused videos that deliver bite-sized chunks of information. These videos are perfect for just-in-time learning, allowing learners to quickly grasp and apply concepts as needed.
Live-Action Explainer Videos: These are videos that illustrate new information through a scripted story that can be applied in specific situations.
Interactive Scenarios: Videos that present learners with realistic, job-relevant situations where they must make decisions and solve problems. These scenarios help develop critical thinking and decision-making skills, providing immediate feedback based on the learner’s choices.
Performance Support Tools: These are video-based performance support tools, such as how-to videos, troubleshooting guides, and best practice demonstrations. These resources are accessible on-demand, helping learners apply their knowledge when they need it most.
Electronic Advancements: Smart phones and tablets are plentiful. High-speed internet is only getting better. It’s time for videos to gain momentum for being anytime, anywhere.
Retention Betterment: Better engagement contributes to better retention, thereby reducing learning gaps.
Flexible Mindset: Content that flows makes learning simpler. So, what looks tough turns into a simple answer that learners tackle on their own.
New Technology Emergence: With Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) growing by the minute, newer dimensions are not seen in video-based learning.
At Tesseract, we understand that the journey to mastering new skills and competencies requires more than just traditional training methods. Our video-based learning journeys are meticulously crafted to guide learners through the process of skill acquisition in an engaging and effective manner.
We design video content that breaks down complex skills into manageable, step-by-step instructions. Each video is crafted to focus on specific aspects of a skill, ensuring that learners can build their knowledge and confidence gradually. For example, in a project management course, we might create videos that cover different phases of a project lifecycle, from initiation to closure, each accompanied by real-life examples and best practices.
Microlearning videos are an essential component of our video-based learning strategy. These short, focused videos deliver targeted learning content in a concise format, making it easy for learners to absorb and retain information.
Branching scenarios and simulations are powerful tools for creating immersive, hands-on learning experiences. These interactive videos present learners with a series of decision points, each leading to different outcomes based on their choices. For instance, a sales training video might simulate a client meeting where the learner must choose the best response to various client objections, with each choice leading to different scenarios and outcomes.
Gamification: By incorporating game elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards, we motivate learners to participate actively and persistently. Gamification turns learning into a fun and competitive experience, encouraging continuous engagement and progress. For example, a compliance training video might include quizzes and challenges that earn points and badges to learners, as they complete each module.
Storytelling: We use storytelling to create compelling narratives that resonate with learners. Stories help contextualize learning content, making it more relatable and easier to remember. For instance, a leadership training video might follow the journey of a fictional manager facing various challenges, illustrating key leadership principles through their experiences.
Immersive Approaches: Other immersive techniques, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), provide learners with highly interactive and engaging experiences. These technologies allow learners to explore virtual environments and interact with 3D models, enhancing their understanding and retention of complex concepts. For example, a VR-based safety training video might allow learners to navigate a virtual construction site, identifying and addressing potential hazards.
Video is a versatile medium that can be leveraged across various learning initiatives, from performance support to social learning and blended learning. Video-based learning uses a multi-sensory experience, where images, sound, and graphics all come into play.
Performance Support: Video-based performance support tools, such as how-to videos and troubleshooting guides, provide learners with immediate access to information and assistance. These resources are available on-demand, helping learners apply their knowledge and skills precisely when they need them.
Social Learning: Video facilitates social learning by enabling learners to share and discuss content with their peers. This can include creating video discussion forums, peer review sessions, and collaborative video projects. Social learning fosters a sense of community and encourages knowledge sharing among learners.
Blended Learning: We seamlessly integrate video into blended learning programs, combining the best of online and face-to-face learning. Video-based content can be used to supplement classroom instruction, prepare for pre-class activities, or provide post-class reinforcement. This approach ensures a comprehensive and flexible learning experience that meets diverse learners needs.

Innovative New Hire Onboarding Program for a Global Capability Center
Challenge
The business condition or need that led to the creation of a learning video was to provide awareness to the entire staff on the features and benefits of the portal used for payroll. Employees ask the payroll team various questions from time to time. The organization wanted to address this by creating a video where the required information is provided to the employees. The video was part of the induction program; hence, it was a valuable addition to the training exercise. Through the learning video, staff would know whom to approach or what to do when they have questions about payroll functions or other aspects.
Solution
The video was intended to educate the entire audience, or rather, the staff of the organization. The video was aesthetically built, covering all features of the payroll system. It had screenshots, as well as appropriate text supporting the content. Some illustrations were also used to create the right impact on the minds of the audience.
Impact
The implementation of the learning video had a significant and positive impact on the organization in several key areas:
Reduced Workload for the Payroll Team: The learning video effectively addressed the common questions employees had about the payroll system, leading to a noticeable decrease in the number of inquiries directed at the payroll team.
Improved Employee Self-Sufficiency: Employees gained a better understanding of the payroll portal's features and benefits through the video, which empowered them to navigate the system independently.
Enhanced Onboarding Experience: By incorporating the video into the induction program, new hires were immediately equipped with the knowledge they needed to use the payroll system effectively.
