Demo videos are a powerful tool in UX education because they make abstract concepts more concrete and relatable through real-world applications.

Why Use Demo Videos in UX Education?

• Showcase real use cases
  Watching an actual interaction or workflow helps students understand how principles apply in real design scenarios.

• Demonstrate tools and processes
  Whether it’s walking through Figma, Framer, or prototyping tools, video lets learners observe steps in real time.

• Visualize design decisions
  Explaining why a design changed—through iterations and testing—makes the thinking process visible.

• Reinforce learning through micro case studies
  Pairing a voiceover with visual steps turns a demo into a narrated case study, offering context behind every choice.

• Great for critiques and feedback loops
  Videos can present a design critique or thought process behind a layout, providing a more engaging way to teach evaluation skills.

Practical Applications

Use demo videos to:

• Walk through assignments and exercises

• Show before-and-after versions during redesigns

• Record critiques or mentoring feedback for peer learning

Resources like the UI Design Demo Vault provide curated examples of this teaching style in action.

In a visual field like UX, showing is often more powerful than telling. A well-structured demo can bridge the gap between knowing and doing.
