Video streaming
Video streaming will play a bigger role in delivering course content of e-learning to the learners (Hartsell, & Yuen, 2006).
Video streaming is a powerful tool in learning in which its usage is a general practice in all branches of education nowadays and has developed rapidly over the years (Fong et al, 2010; McGoverna et al., 2008; Shephard, 2003).
Video streaming
Fong et al, (2010) and Shephard (2003) reports that the most of educational experts agree that video is better shown in short objects so as to maximise learners’ concentration.
It has the ability to attract learners’ attention and present information which is easy to assimilate and can lead to a better description by the teachers.
The learners can reap the benefits of video, assisting them to enhance the understanding and comprehension of difficult and complicated concepts and knowledge which are difficult to illustrate in simple graphics and text and become engaged in the learning process, as well as to evoke the emotional reactions from the learners that can help them in increasing their motivation (Fong et al, 2010; Hartsell, & Yuen, 2006).
Video streaming benefits
Students who are absent from class or lecture can have access to the content (video over internet) and that they will not be left behind. Apart from that, students who are not able to fully understand the lectures may replay and review the videos to get better understanding of the concepts and skills.
Video streaming benefits
Several studies reported that the use of videos and animations in learning environment can effectively enhance the learning (Fong et al, 2010; Tversky et al., 2002), particularly when presenting difficult and imaginational concepts and skills to the learners (Betrancourt, 2005).

Demonstration video aims at representing content and procedures in which the learners find difficult to comprehend the text-based materials.
