Service // Educational & e-learning video

Educational video
production in Durban.

For universities, schools, e-learning platforms, training providers and edtech. Lecture capture, course content, explainer animations — built around learning objectives, not broadcast conventions.

01 / Overview

Video that actually teaches — not just films.

Educational video production Durban universities, schools, training providers and edtech startups use to build courses that achieve measurable learning outcomes — not just record a lecture on camera.

We approach every educational brief with learning objectives written before scripting begins. Instructional design principles drive the structure — Bloom's taxonomy alignment, micro-lesson architecture, and LMS-ready delivery with WCAG 2.1 accessibility built in.

From single explainer modules to full multi-module MOOC productions, we've delivered content for universities, TVET colleges, SETA-aligned training providers, and edtech platforms across South Africa.

03 / How We Build for Learning

Built around how people actually learn.

We apply instructional design principles to every brief — not broadcast television principles. The structure of a lesson matters as much as the production quality of the footage.

Learning objectives

Written before scripting begins — every module has a measurable outcome.

Micro-lesson structure

6–12 minute self-contained modules. Short enough to hold attention, long enough to teach.

Bloom's taxonomy alignment

Scripted to align with knowledge, comprehension, application or higher-order thinking goals.

Assessment cue points

LMS quiz integration markers built into every SCORM-packaged module.

WCAG 2.1 accessibility

Captions, audio description where required. Accessible by default — not retrofitted.

04 / Delivery

LMS-ready. Captioned. Accessible.

Every educational video we produce is delivered in formats ready for your LMS, intranet or public platform — with accessibility built in from the start.

MP4 H.264

Web-optimised, LMS-ready master file.

SCORM 1.2 / 2004

With quiz integration for tracking completion.

Captions

.vtt and burned-in, multi-language available.

Compliant delivery on all educational content.
