“Odyssey” Is An AI-Powered Video Tool That Could Be Useful To English Language Learners

I’ve previously shared how I used AI text-to-image tools with English Language Learners (see How I’m Using AI Art Generation To Teach English To Newcomers).

If I was still teaching in the classroom, I could see how AI-powered text-to-video tools could be used in similar ways – especially with a tool like Odyssey.

Odyssey starts off like a typical text-to-video tool – describe a scene and it creates it.

However, it has a big difference, and I assume that most text-to-video tools will soon incorporate this kind of difference: as it generates the video, you are able to add additional prompts to create new scenes.  In effect, you are creating an entire short film on the fly.

Many ELL students would find a lesson using this kind of tool engaging, and it could be a great language learning experience.  They could screen-record the video and the text they are inputting to create it, and then show it to the entire class.

I’m adding this info to The Best Resources For Teaching & Learning With AI Art Generation Tools.
