Want to Amp Up Your Self-Paced Learning Content?

3 Reasons Teachers and Presenters Love Synthesia for Self-Paced Learning

Creating customized, engaging video lessons can be a time-consuming process. And in my case, it has to be done on my personal time. Between scripting, recording, editing, and dealing with inevitable retakes, producing quality instructional content often feels overwhelming especially when I am designing a new personal finance course. That’s where Synthesia, an AI-powered presentation and video generator, steps in to simplify my workflow. I had my first introduction in the AI for Project Based Learning course that I’m taking at Idaho State University.

Here are 3 key benefits that I have been enjoying while using Synthesia to supercharge my self-paced learning content:

1. Save Hours on Video Creation

Forget the camera setup, lighting checks, and endless retakes. With Synthesia, you simply type your script, choose your avatar, and generate your video. What used to take hours (or days) can now be done in minutes—freeing up your time to focus on students, content, and creativity.

2. Customize for Different Learners

Synthesia lets you select from a wide range of AI avatars, voices, and languages, making it easy to tailor videos for your learners' needs. Whether you're personalizing for different classes, grade levels, or learning styles, the platform makes your content feel more human and relevant—without requiring you to be on camera.

3. Easily Update and Repurpose Content

Need to change a term or add a new concept? You don’t need to re-record the whole video. With Synthesia, I can quickly edit your script and regenerate the video—which helps me keep my lessons current and adaptable without the hassle of traditional video editing.

Final Thought:
If you're a teacher or presenter looking to scale high-quality, self-paced instruction without burning out, Synthesia could be your new favorite tool. It’s efficient, customizable, and designed to support engaging learning experiences—minus the tech headaches. It’s a fun tool to use!
