 Active participation, rather than passive watching, creates better learningoutcomes from video. The Video TurboPack lets trainers achieve just that, whileretaining the audio-visual appeal of video, said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and ManagingDirector of Harbinger Group.  WeÂ're overjoyed to release this pack on the heels oflast weekÂ's Games TurboPack.Â
With increasing bandwidth capabilities, video is becoming a more and more viablelearning medium. However, videos are generally not as involving as course creatorsand learners would like them to be. The inactivity in watching a talking-head video,for instance, tends to put learners off. Raptivity Video TurboPack includes severalvideo interaction models that go beyond usual audio-visual modalities and involvelearners through interactions during a presentation.
For example, course creators can now start with a talking-head video and synchronizeit with a slide show. They can even add wake-up questions which reduce the video toa thumb-nail size and await answers before resuming the presentation! Or, they coulduse a video documentary, introduce pause points and voice-over their own comments.They can add closed captioning, subtitles or tickers easily.
The TurboPack makes videos searchable too. This means learners can easily reach aparticular part of the video, based on what they want to learn.
 For Raptivity users, adding the Video TurboPack is so much a plug-and-play affair.And the video customization process is so simple  itÂ's just too easy, added SeemaChaudhary, Director, Business Development.
