AI can be a great asset for content creation in videos and voice recordings of all kinds. However, in terms of LMS (Learning Management System) tools, AI can be extremely useful for eLearning companies looking to improve teaching methods and personalize the learning experience rather than invest in costly teaching aids such as traditional videos and captions. When LMS manufacturers wish to incorporate visual and verbal aids in their products, they can now use AI to avoid lengthy and expensive recording sessions with real actors and time-consuming manual video editing.
AI to generate voices for high-quality voiceovers
In the past, getting high-quality voiceovers for multimedia content, such as videos and animations, was a costly and time-consuming process that involved hiring professional voice actors. However, with the latest advancements in AI-generated voices, content creators now have a more affordable alternative. The latest algorithms offer voices almost indistinguishable from human recordings in casual listening.
Using AI for high-quality voiceovers eliminates the need for lengthy recording sessions, which reduces both the time and expenses associated with hiring voice actors, renting studios, and conducting multiple takes. Additionally, AI-generated voices provide flexibility in script modifications, whether it’s at the source or during translation. Content creators can seamlessly incorporate these changes without needing to re-record them and at a minimal extra cost. This flexibility is particularly valuable in dynamic multimedia environments requiring frequent content updates or adaptations.
AI to automate video production
AI has also enhanced the capabilities of video content creators. These tools are particularly useful in creating presentations, tutorials, and other content to engage learners visually. With the help of AI algorithms, content like infographics, visualizations, or animations can be dynamically generated based on the spoken content, making the video more visually appealing and engaging. This dynamic content generation adds a layer of interactivity and helps convey complex information more comprehensively. Even if AI is not used to generate content specifically, it can still automate repetitive tasks. For example, AI algorithms can handle editing tasks such as cutting, splicing, arranging clips, transitions, and more, allowing creators to allocate resources more efficiently to generate information. This automation accelerates the production timeline and reduces the need for extensive manual labor, thereby cutting down on associated costs.
AI to enhance accessibility
Speech-to-text technology and automatic captioning in videos greatly enhance accessibility by providing a text-based representation of spoken content. Captions and subtitles are essential for individuals with hearing impairments, making video content inclusive and ensuring that information is accessible to a broader audience. With the help of AI, the process of segmenting text and timing is simplified to a few clicks, and minimal post-editing is required.
Additionally, GSA Section 508 Standards include a requirement (503.4) that says that if “a digital product displays video with synchronized audio, the product shall provide user controls for closed captions and audio descriptions at the same menu level as the user controls for volume or program selection.” It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s the law.
AI to personalize the learning process in eLearning tools
In addition to AI driving production tools, AI generates value for LMS usage. Companies like Docebo and LearnUpon are using AI to personalize the learning process.
AI can tailor the learning process by analyzing a learner’s progress, personalizing recommendations, responding to inquiries, and suggesting topics for further study. It emerges as a valuable ally in teaching intricate subjects like foreign languages and STEM topics. AI tools also streamline the lives of instructors by automating grading processes and analyzing data to uncover patterns. Despite the undeniable strength of human instructors in personalization, the responsible use of AI can potentially enhance personalized learning on a broader scale.
