Using Avatars - 1 views

Cathy Marziali on 17 Oct 10Voki is a online site that allows the learner to create their own speaking avatar. Once the avatar is created, there is an opportunity to demonstrate generative learning by creating speech for the avatar. The speech can be recorded by one's own voice or done through a text to speech tool. In my project, this will be a way for workshop participants to use generative learning to apply their learning to creating their own project. They will post an avatar on their wiki to entice learners to use it, giving purpose and features that will make the wiki useful to the participant. I chose this site for many reasons. Although it is very simple to use, it requires a high level of creativity that is engaging for learners. The product is high quality and is able to be shared via email and different online environments.

Joshua Sherman on 04 Jun 12Voki is a great multimedia website that will allow students to create talking avatars depicting themselves or historical figures. I will use this site in my presentation wiki on infusing mulitmedia in a history class.
