Employee, customer and partner training should normally be divided into focused modules, with each video addressing one clear objective. Videos can then be combined with questions, exercises, discussions or assessments rather than treating passive viewing as proof that learning has occurred.
A
2025 meta-analysis covering 54 studies found that adding active learning techniques to video improved retention, comprehension and the ability to apply knowledge in new situations. Embedded questions were the most frequently studied technique.
Lime also avoids imposing an arbitrary maximum length on every training video. A separate
study examining 3.1 million educational video views found that learners frequently watched videos across multiple sessions and that course context mattered alongside video length. The subject should therefore determine the length, with longer topics divided where there is a natural change in learning objective.
