1. Training teachers Avatars are being used specifically for teacher training. Specially designed avatars realistically imitate different types of students to help teachers practice classroom management and relate to their students. The trainee teachers stand in front of a projection screen on which they see avatars that are being controlled, or acted out, by actual students trained to behave a certain way. Other noises or outbursts like laughing or obnoxious sound effects are added to simulate a fully realistic experience

2. Vokis Vokis are speaking avatars, and teachers in all subjects, but especially language classes, are using them by recording their own voices to match their digital avatar. Using more animated avatars helps students who feel disconnected from class discussions or who are more audio learners rather than visual learners process material and relate to the lesson more personally. Language teachers have been using vokis to help students with pronunciation and conversation, letting them voice-over their own avatars.
