Welcome video
This example was created using a new feature from Rise Labs. I used the AI Avatar designed to welcome learners and introduce the objectives of the training. From a pedagogical perspective, AI avatars can be a powerful tool to engage learners at the start of a course, create a sense of presence, and clearly communicate learning goals. However, this type of tool should be used carefully to avoid cognitive overload. With this feature, we are given 1,200 credits, which correspond to 1,200 seconds of video content. This encourages intentional design choices and reinforces the importance of focusing on high‑value moments, such as course introductions or key transitions. From a technical standpoint, there is still room for improvement, particularly regarding mouth synchronization and eye movement. Nonetheless, this is a very promising start, and I’m curious to see how this technology evolves and how it can be integrated meaningfully into learning experiences.
