Abstract

The advancement in technology brought about the introduction of eLearning to educational institutes. By supplementing traditional courses with eLearning materials, instructors are able to introduce new learning methods without completely deviating from standard education programs [Basogain et al. 2017]. Some of the most popular forms of E-Learning include online courses [Aparicio and Bacao 2013], [Goyal 2012], video clips of lectures, and gamification of courses and materials [Plessis 2017]. This paper introduces and evaluates the performance of eLearning videos featuring anime styled avatars (a.k.a VTuber) speaking in vocoder transformed audios and how they compare with the traditional lecturer videos.
