Interactive learning and training has the unique ability to engage viewers on an emotional level. This can be powerful to drive home important messages and the consequences of different decisions.

The local Goa government in India have recognised this and introduced a new mandatory part of the driving license process.

To fully comprehend the dangers of drink-driving, applicants must join an interactive video conversation with people who have been there before and experienced the consequences.

Are you ready for the new online Accessibility laws?

The European Accessibility Act (EEA) is set to come into force on 28th June. Without getting into the technical details, this act emphasises the need for accessible online experiences for everyone, including those with disabilities.

Ultimately, website accessibility is not just a box-ticking exercise, it's about making inclusive digital spaces that everyone feels comfortable in.

When it comes to media, creating accessible videos is easier than you may think. Using Stornaway's interactive video editor, add a range of accessibility features that viewers can self-select.

We were proud to support the release of pre-school TV show Mixmups with Ultra Access earlier this year - the biggest update to accessible TV for decades.

Here's how they drove online accessibility forward - and how you can do the same: https://www.stornaway.io/making-accessible-tv-mixmups-with-ultra-access/

Stornaway Selects: Poor Rabbits by A Gray Space

After being the subject of frankenstein-esque experiments, a pair of rabbits have got used to existing in a new state. The question is: should an attempt be made to return them to their original form? The interactive project presents the evidence and the viewer gets to vote on their decision.

An interactive tale of godlike creatures and Victorian medical experimentation told by the hapless Lagomorphs at the heart of Alasdair Gray’s Poor Things. This project is a masterclass in learning design. Rather than telling the audience, it presents a moral dilemma and asks the viewer to come to their own conclusion.

Congrats Kat Rolley and the team behind A Gray Space. Have a play at: https://alasdairgrayspace.net/poor-rabbits-retelling-alasdair-gray-poor-things

What's the one top tip our Founder, Ru Howe, gives to all interactive video creators?

It's a question that once again cropped up at the IFM 2025 Conference last week. (Thanks to everyone who joined us!)

Don't start with your content or media, start by building the structure of the interactive video. Map out the story and interactive journey - even if you are fitting in existing media.
