It was a year of many trends for video learning across many industries, and our 2023 Video Trends in Higher Education report captured a lot of interesting findings. It provides valuable insights into how video develops in higher education and how it might evolve. A short list of its findings includes shifting towards asynchronous video adoption, a preference for hybrid learning, and increased global participation and diversity.
