Webinar: Empowering Students with GenAI: A Research-Informed and Practical Introduction
CIDD is excited to invite you to join this highly topical webinar on practical introduction to GenAI in teaching and learning.

Webinar: Should AI-Generated Avatars replace corporate trainers?
CIDD welcomes you to join a webinar on the emerging research and practices using talking-head training videos with AI-generated avatars that look and sound indistinguishable from human instructors. Participants will compare traditional studio versus AI-generated workflows to understand how differences in production overhead present compelling rationales for avatar adoption. Findings will be presented from new studies examining the impact of AI avatars on learner achievement and attitude outcomes, followed by a discussion of viability in specific use cases.
Presenter:
Ph.D., Professor of Instructional Technology and Chair of the Educational Studies Department, Joe Winslow, Coastal Carolina University, USA
