Monki Nongki Highlight: Micro-Learning Video Editing Workshop

The Growing Need for Practical Learning Video Production in Education and Corporate Training

In today's corporate training industry, the process of producing learning videos is becoming increasingly inclusive and accessible to a wider range of people.

In the past, professional multimedia was synonymous with professional software like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and so on. But now, far more accessible options have emerged that are easier for non-professionals to learn. Teachers and instructors, whether at school or at a company, are now able to create training videos using these simpler platforms.

With this in mind, at the end of October, Monkey Melody held a workshop on Micro-Learning Video Editing, led by Mas Septian Pamungkas. Like the previous event, this workshop drew an enthusiastic crowd of teachers and corporate participants.

The hope was that, through this event, participants would gain a deeper understanding of learning multimedia. Participants were also introduced to two simple tools, Canva and CapCut, and learned to use both to produce reasonably polished micro-learning videos.

Applying Richard Mayer's Multimedia Theory to Learning Video Production

In this session, Mas Septian began by introducing two simple tools capable of producing videos just as compelling as those edited with professional software: Canva and CapCut. Canva, a drag-and-drop design platform, was used to create graphic assets and simple animations, while CapCut served as the editing tool that brought the video and visual assets together into a finished product.

Before moving into hands-on practice, participants were given a brief overview of the multimedia principles and theory developed by Richard E. Mayer. This theory is widely recognized in multimedia education for its focus on optimizing the learning process through the use of multimedia elements. Mas Septian explained several key principles relevant to micro-learning.

The hope was that participants would gain a deeper understanding of multimedia, particularly learning multimedia. This grounding gave participants a strong foundation not only for using Canva and CapCut, but also for building more effective learning content based on these theories.

After covering the theory and principles of multimedia, Mas Septian moved on to Canva, demonstrating several engaging animation features that are easy to access and apply.

The results created in Canva were then brought into CapCut, where participants were guided through cutting footage, adjusting timing, adding assets, inserting subtitles, and more.

Throughout the workshop, Mas Septian provided detailed guidance on working with the pre-prepared assets. Participants who needed more time to grasp the material were helped along by his answers. Overall, participants followed the workshop reasonably well, even though many were not yet deeply familiar with Canva and CapCut's features.

We hope workshop participants gained a better understanding of multimedia and are now able to create simple micro-learning videos using Canva and CapCut. Monkey Melody plans to continue holding similar events to introduce more people to the process of producing learning multimedia.
