Video modules allow you to assign learners videos to watch as part of their training.  These videos can be broken up into chapters and navigation options, such as skipping chapters or fast forwarding, can be allowed/disallowed depending on how your organization plans to use the module. If you intend on doing Group Training with a video module, you can use Training Huddles.

Video Specific Settings

Video specific settings are set during step 4 of module creation, or at anytime by clicking on the 'Video Settings' tab.
