Engage learners in dry, complex topics. Deliver high levels of attitudinal change. Take the cringe factor out of role-play training. Interactive video drives up to 90% attitudinal change and 81% higher engagement than static content with no developers required.
Transform passive participants into active learners
Static training materials are struggling to generate meaningful engagement. Interactive video is 81% more effective at keeping learner attention, delivering stronger information retention.
Learners who can choose their learning journey are more invested in the outcome. Interactive media turns passive viewers into active participants in the learning experience. This approach has proven to deliver up to 90% attitudinal change and higher information recall.
Deliver personalised training with efficient use of resources
Tailored learning journeys that take into account learners’ needs and preferences will always produce the best outcomes.
But how can one educator tailor the journey for every single learner? With interactive media. Instant feedback, extra help and additional resource recommendations can be fed back to the learner in real time. This satisfies the needs of both at-risk and advanced learners and helps students master modules faster.
Boost engagement rates with storytelling techniques
It’s hard to replicate the emotional stakes when designing training scenarios. It’s one thing learning, for example, CPR in a sterile classroom, it’s quite another in real life.
Replicate the training scenario as close as possible to their experiences in real life, using storytelling techniques to add emotional engagement. This approach creates learners that have a higher regard for the outcome and are more prepared to apply their new knowledge in the real world.
Track and record results directly into your LMS
Assessments get to the bottom of what a learner knows – and doesn’t know. The data collected during these assessments can be used to quickly address knowledge gaps and boost learning outcomes.
Your Stornaway interactive video will integrate directly into your LMS with SCORM compliance and individual viewer analytics. Gain a deeper insight into learning styles, subject matter understanding and knowledge gaps for every single learner.
Accelerate creative workflows with seamless integrations
You no longer need a team of developers to create interactive learning content and branching scenario training modules. Using Stornaway, learning designers typically deliver interactive content 90% faster.
With an impressive suite of easy-to-use features and seamless integrations with your favourite tools, you’ll be creating new interactive learning materials quicker than ever before. Stornaway makes it easy to create realistic, trackable interactive video that anyone in your team can use.
The Stornaway advantage
“Once we had the interactive experience built with Stornaway, it was so reusable and repeatable for an audience or for one-to-one training that it was widely accepted by clients and celebrated once we saw the interactive element.”
Morgan ObregonDirector of Content Operations, Living Security
“We’ve never quite found the right application or vendor before this - until Stornaway. We’re building hour-long (video learning) modules with branching logic. It’s the right tool.”
Jules MorganL&D Content Lead, Springer Nature
“Stornaway allowed us share files & work on this collaborative workspace. They set up an account, whichever country they were in, and we could see and work on interactive flows. Very early & very quickly, we could see and shape the story together.”
Paul MallaghanDirector of Creative Strategy and Content, Tilt

Where can I publish my Stornaway project?
Projects are published to Stornaway’s own versatile player. This can then be embedded on your website, Learning Management System (LMS), PowerPoint, or as an app through Unity and Unreal for Mobile, Steam, Consoles, VR, and Compatible VOD platforms.
For advanced options on our custom plan, you can host the player and projects on your own servers, or we can integrate our interactive editor and overlays with your existing video players and hosting.
How much does Stornaway.io cost?
Our free plan lets you quickly pick up and play with the possibilities of interactive video. Once you have the hang of it, there is a range of subscription plans available. Find a plan that works for you.
What tools does Stornaway integrate with?
Stornaway is designed to be flexible and open. This means it can integrate smoothly with the software and tools you are already using. No need to rebuild your tech stack.
Also, our handy integration with Adobe has brought their powerful editing tools into Stornaway to speed up image and video design.
How can I track data / measure engagement of my videos?
We understand that data holds the key to engaging your audience. Stornaway’s analytics dashboard automatically captures audience engagement data, such as video views, individual Story Island views and watch times.
However, on a Custom Plan, you can unlock information at a granular level. Stornaway offers a Player API which can track and report on specific events, such as button clicks, quiz scores and other triggers, from individual viewers. This can then be sent straight into your own systems or LMS.
Wherever your project is embedded, our API gives you full flexibility and control over how you collect and manage your data when releasing your projects.
My organisation has extremely strict data and security policies – how do I ensure compliance?
Stornaway has been designed to comply with the strictest data security policies. We already work with governments, universities, healthcare organisations and other enterprises that require total data protection and privacy compliance.
Stornaway collects no PII (Personally Identifiable Information) for videos created within our platform. While we don’t require a Stornaway login to view the videos that are created, they can be secured behind your own login or locked to a specific domain.
All viewer and project data is hosted on the widely trusted Heroku platform, in their Dublin data centres. Video files are hosted and processed in Amazon Web Services in their London data centres, and delivered via local Cloudfront servers to wherever you are in the world.
For stricter compliance requirements, our custom licences provide an on-premise player that runs entirely within your own system. This is ideal for organizations needing greater security, compliance, and data control, especially in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, or government.
Can I post my project on social media?
Create a seamless experience between social media pages and interactive video.
Use the 9:16 aspect ratio and post a link in TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other social media platforms. The interactive video follows the link within the social media app for a seamless experience.

Do you have a limit on the number of views and how much does it cost to have lots of viewers?
Stornaway considers bandwidth rather than the number of video views.
Just because a viewer has started a video doesn’t mean they will finish it. Rather than counting views, bandwidth measures what’s actually been watched. Only the data that has been transferred is measured and included.
But what does that mean in practical terms? 99% of Stornaway creators never reach their bandwidth limits. If you’re in the lucky 1%, we’ll be in touch in plenty of time.
If you know you’re presenting to a really big audience, get in touch – we have different options to suit you.
