Written by Dick CarlsonIt’s day two of the eLearning Guild “Implementing Mobile Learning” show (completely online, but not available on my mobile device) and I’m in a neat presentation by Scott Everhart of Vcom3D, Inc. He’s talking about using i-Pods and avatars in language and cultural training. (Many people have observed that I could really use some cultural training, so I’m trying to pay attention.)
He’s demoing a tool from his company that lets me create all sorts of avatars for training — and give them different cultural attributes. Much like Second Life, they’re all pretty good looking and younger than I am — but I’ve never seen something that was this easy to do!
How would you create an avatar to better connect to your learners, based on their cultural and/or language preferences? Could you use this to improve the effectiveness of training?
