At WeVideo, we constantly seek out new ways to empower creation, collaboration and communication through data-driven, interactive video. And our latest launch, AI Assist, directly addresses several of the issues facing educators today.
In the RAND Corporation’s 2023 State of the American Teacher Survey, researchers found that “managing student behavior, supporting student academic learning, and administrative work were top sources of job-related stress for teachers.” Those stressors align with the increased demand for delivering asynchronous education and lessons incorporating multimedia.
Whether you’re trying to reduce stress or trying to get more efficient, AI Assist was made with you in mind. Read on to learn about our suite of tools designed to help you level up your instructional video content, without leveling up your workload. We will cover three unique tools: AI Interactions, Automatic Subtitle Generator, and Background Noise Reducer.
1. AI Interactions
Currently in beta and available to WeVideo Interactivity users, AI Interactions is a tool that automatically generates and customizes interactive video questions, aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy. These can include multiple-choice questions, free responses, polls, etc. placed on top of video content.
This feature saves time on the administrative side of lesson planning, and more time on the part of the job that’s most important – teaching. Learn how to start using AI Interactions with an in-depth guide.
2. Automatic Subtitle Generator
The Subtitle Generator harnesses the power of AI to create text subtitles of the speech in your videos. This powerful feature helps make videos more accessible.
The Subtitle Generator is available in the Classroom space for Projects exports. Check out a full tutorial and start incorporating transcripts into your lessons.
3. Background Noise Reducer
In just one click, you can reduce unwanted background noise in your videos. Our AI technology finds the distracting audio and minimizes it… it’s that simple. That ensures your videos have crystal-clear audio quality, even if clips were originally filmed in a noisy environment. Get step-by-step guidance on how to use this feature in WeVideo Academy.
At this point, you might be thinking...
"This is cool and I want more. What's next?"
Our Product team plans to add more tools and continue to invest in AI Assist. We will share more info in the coming months, once we’ve had a chance to hear user feedback on these latest releases. That will allow us to continue to release even better features that meet your educational needs.
