What is an instructional video

There are plenty of things people want to learn how to do. They may want to take an exercise class, manage their finances, and learn a little first aid or more. Since just after the advent of the video tape player, lots of big and small companies have met these needs, producing instructional videos on a variety of topics. Today, the instructional video, which could be defined as any video designed to teach a particular thing, is more likely to be an instructional DVD or increasingly, video available on sites like YouTube® or downloaded files that can fit on an MP3 player or computer screen.

People can access lots of free instructional video types on YouTube®. For instance, if a mom or dad is having trouble teaching a young one to tie their shoes, there are multiple shoe-tying videos that can be used to bring this concept home. Some even have slow motion demonstrations and most only take a few minutes to watch. Lots of first aid concepts are demonstrated on the web, too. People can learn how to tape a toe, how to bandage a wound, and for the surgeon out there that needs a little review, there are medical school demonstrations of stitching techniques or ways to insert a chest tube.
