EXPOC103: Beyond the Screen Recording: Bringing Software Training to Life with AI Video

November 4, 2026 11:15 am - 11:45 am
Traditional software training is great at showing learners how to complete a task, but what about helping them understand when, why, and how to apply that knowledge in real-world situations?
 
In this session, discover how Optimal Blue is evolving its customer education strategy by combining traditional software demonstrations with AI-powered scenario-based videos. Featuring insights from Kristy Elsman, Learning Experience Designer at Optimal Blue, we'll explore how realistic scenarios can reinforce learning, illustrate decision-making, and bring greater context to technical training.
 
Through Kristy's firsthand experiences, practical examples, and a demonstration of AI-powered video creation, you'll learn how Learning & Development teams can develop engaging, scenario-based content without the complexity of traditional video production.
