Avatars in Education
Graphic with the text ‘AI in Action’ on a blue digital‑themed background with a sparkle icon
The LDTI AI in Action series provides a platform for staff to come together and discuss how they are using GenAI in their teaching, learning, and research. Each 30-minute session includes a brief demonstration and time for Q&A.
Join Dr Shiva Pedram (School of Computer and Information Sciences) for a discussion on how she has been exploring the use of AI generated video avatars in her teaching.
Shiva will demonstrate the types of avatar videos that have been used in her course, and introduce some emerging data and reflections on what has worked, what hasn’t, and what we’re learning.
