The Value of Animation in Education
Accelerates Learning Process
According to a 2019 study published in Frontiers of Behavioral Neuroscience, 65% of all people are visual learners. That’s why animated videos are such a powerful teaching tool.
For example, an educator can use an engaging animation to follow up a chapter of text-based reading material.
The speed and repetition of information delivery give educators a fast and effective strategy to accelerate learning.
Improves Student Performance
Creating an enjoyable learning experience with animated videos motivates students to perform better in class.
This improved performance increases student productivity, encourages participation and deepens class discussions.
With a proficient understanding of their field of study, students can enter the marketplace with more quality opportunities available.
Highly Effective for Perceptual Learning
When certain subjects require the senses for interpretation or the need to understand kinematic models, animated videos are highly effective.
An example of perceptual learning would be teaching a student to differentiate between two musical tones, or using kinematic models, animations can show how factory automation operates.
Utilizing animated videos for perceptual learning help students construct accurate visual representations better than static images or text-based descriptions.
