Feature Friday: Build a Course Part 2

Transform dry course topics into engaging, memorable learning with Synthesia.

In this Feature Friday session, learn how to turn even the driest training topics into engaging learning moments. We’ll explore how simple techniques like interstitials, AI-generated B-roll, and interactivity can help you manage cognitive load, sustain attention, and make your content more memorable—all using Synthesia.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Make dry topics dynamic: Use short interstitials, pauses, and background music to reset focus and reduce cognitive load between dense concepts.
• Add surprise and delight: Generate creative AI B-roll to visualize your stories, introduce novelty, and make your videos stick.
• Keep learners active: Add interactive buttons and branching moments to turn a passive watch into an engaging, choice-driven experience.

Rewatch this session and try adding one new engagement technique to your next Synthesia video—your learners (and their attention spans) will thank you.
