voki

A voki is one way to engage students when you are teaching through elearning. Many students like the appeal of avatars. This means they do not have to read information but listen instead. They are similar to podcast in that no other real information is offered only the spoken word. Students who listen to voki as a learning tool learn about auditory skills, communication skills, oral fluency, technology skills and information literacy. Students who create learn all the previous skills and collaboration, writing, speaking, presentation, media literacy and storytelling skills (Langwitches, 2010).
