Text-to-speech in Rise 360
Hello everyone, please how can i add text-to-speech in rise 360?
I think it is important to remember that everyone learns differently - some through listening, watching, reading, and others may be hands on learners.
While text-to-speech isn't necessarily a requirement, it is nice to have when you want to include audio but not record a narration.
Slowing down the learning process or making them pay attention to the explanation? Most learners, especially adults try to speed through the learning processes because they feel they will get the most learning out of "just doing it", but from my experience, that is not always the case and at times, they miss a lot of key points.
That sounds like you are arguing that learning styles exist and that is just not true.
TTS won't solve learners trying to get through a course as fast as possible. To solve that problem you need to make the learning more useful, engaging, or practical. TTS won't get away from the info dump of too corporate training courses.
You're saying there's not different learning styles? Just based on what I have learned along the way, there are at least 5 that I have encountered but some would argue there are 7 or 8 different learning styles.
I totally agree that TTS won't solve the issue of learners trying to speed through the course, I am just saying that having it would be beneficial to those who prefer it over recordings.
Hi Samantha,
I recently read these articles about Learning Styles. Well worth the read.
Belief in Learning Styles Myth May Be Detrimental
Interesting. I will take a look but based on my training experience, learning styles are absolutely a thing, in my opinion. But even for myself, I absorb information when I listen and write it down better than I do reading it.
Learning styles are a myth that just won't die. In 2004 Coffield et al. found no evidence that learning styles exist (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232929341_Learning_styles_and_pedagogy_in_post_16_education_a_critical_and_systematic_review). The APA recognizes that the belief in learning styles may be detrimental (https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2019/05/learning-styles-myth).
This video gives a good explanation of the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgwIhB58PA
