In the higher education (or even K-12) space, educational videos have the potential to go way beyond skills and how-to guides. While instructional, how-to, and training videos are all types of videos that can be considered “educational”, they’re usually more focused on teaching a skill or skillset. But, how is that different from an instructional video, a how-to video or training video? An educational video is a video to educate (of course!) someone on a specific topic or collection of topics.
