About E-Learning: How is video best integrated into an e-learning environment?

Video is best integrated into an e-learning environment using MPEG 4 or Flash video formats. Flash video is ideal in that the video can be made to stream, and therefore does not require loading and buffering of the video file…Flash video provides “video on demand”. In either case, video files should incorporate a video player that allows the student to stop and rewind the video. In general, video files should not auto-play since the student may not have his or her computer’s audio turned on. It is best to keep video files in segments of five minutes or less. It is better to have multiple video files of short length than one long video file.
