Voki Tip of the Week: Save your Voki as a video file!

Voki Tip of the Week: Save your Voki as a video file!

by Voki Blog ♥ 55 Comments

Some of our users have been wondering about turning their Voki scenes into .avi files (which stands for Audio Video Interleave). We’re here to help! It’s quite easy to create your Voki scene and add it wherever you like. It may take some time (and a little patience), but if we can do it, you can do it! 🙂

One of our tech savvy educators left a great tip via the Teacher’s Corner. Here’s how it works.:

  • Create a Voki.
  • Go to CamStudio (for example) and download the latest program;  it’s free.
  • Open the program and return to your Voki.
  • Drag the box over your Voki and press Record.
  • Play your Voki.
  • Stop recording when finished.

You can save your recording on your PC as a video file. You can then add it to a PowerPoint presentation, a website, or anywhere else for that matter. Give it a try!

Voki Tip of the Week: Voki in Quia

Voki Tip of the Week: Voki in Quia

One of our favorite things about our users is that they are always coming up with great and inventive ways to use Voki. In this latest instance, an anonymous tipster posted to Teacher’s Corner how they use Voki with their Quia.com account. Anonymous adds a Voki scene to his quizzes. Here’s what Anonymous has to say:

“I’ve used Quia.com for years. You can include your Voki in a Quia quiz or activity. Next to many of the boxes that you fill out, you’ll notice a blue + sign. You can paste your Voki HTML code in this box, and your Voki will appear in the instructions, questions or answers, wherever you want them. As you make the Quia activity, be sure to check the box that says “Activate HTML and LaTeX.””

Here’s what that would look like:

In this interview, instructional technology specialist LaQuita Denson tells us about how she uses Voki to train teachers on effective methods of delivering information during lessons, regardless of a student’s learning abilities.

The three features she finds the most useful about Voki are:

  1. The Language Feature: “This is really great with those students who are struggling readers, as well as students from different countries…”
  2. Multiple Vokis: “This is great when you’re doing an assignment [with multiple students], depending on the outcome or objective of the assignment.”
  3. Audio: “…whether you want to do this by text, or have the students use the microphone, as well as recording by phone, depending on the ability of the student…”

Take a look at this short interview to get an idea of how an educational technology professional uses Voki to enhance learning!
