Video is the original rapid technology for supporting learning. As video becomes easier to produce, more common on the Web, and more available via high-speed connections, e-Learning designers must become skilled in its use.

As we gain experience with new learning modalities, we have come to realize that most learning takes place outside of the formal setting. In addition, as we gain experience with new technologies, we have come to realize that we no longer have to confine our designs to a “virtual” classroom. So why haven’t we done a better job of combining these realizations?
