An Emerging Technology and Pedagogical Tool: Text-to-Movie

Abstract: Text-to-Movie (TTM) technology enables teachers to easily create multimedia learning objects. Typed dialog is converted into speech for animated characters in movies. As an emerging technology that rarely appears in the literature, text-to-movie capability holds great promise for use in teaching and learning. Text-to-Movie technology enables rapid creation of animated speaking characters in movie format. This paper reports on a novel learning object that was created using text-to-movie technology for a senior-… Show more

“…Circling a 10 indicates that video provided significant value to your understanding of the case.” The median score was 8.0 ( n = 50) where 1 = no value for my learning and 10 = s ignificant value , suggesting students perceived significant learning value. That these students found Xtranormal valuable is consistent with field studies of Xtranormal in information systems courses (Kourik, ) and controlled experiments using Xtranormal with participants from courses in computational linguistics (Stoyanchev, Piwek, and Prendinger, ).…”

“…Instructors who also want to cater to learners who favor reading may provide students a text‐based hard copy of the actor's dialog either as a pre‐read or just before showing the video in class. In this way, the pedagogical tool can meet the learning preferences of most students and diversify the learning experience of students (Pintrich, ), which may explain why students appear to find Xtranormal videos an engaging and effective tool for learning (Kourik, ; Stoyanchev, Piwek, and Prendinger, ).…”
