How to improve this elearning

The video is really what shines with this learning module – it’s like watching a soap opera at your desk. (It would be great if it were multi-device, so it could be accessed elsewhere too). In comparison, the pure text delivery of the intros and summaries falls a little flat. Consider using visuals (screengrabs from the videos?), or a bit of audio to spruce them up to ensure they don’t just get skimmed over.
