The day-to-day problems concerned with creating e-learning courses are all too familiar for those in the industry. While [authoring](/content/post/elearning-authoring-tools/index.html) and LMS tools has improved significantly it is still very difficult to scale video production. But with the advent of AI-driven tools for video creation companies will be able to deliver better and more customised courses [at a much faster pace](/content/post/how-to-speed-up-ld-content-production/index.html) than what is possible today.

Today, creating large volumes of content for courses becomes a regular pain, from location/studio problems to reshoots, and scheduling issues to the constant back and forth between clients and [eLearning content development companies](/content/post/elearning-development-companies/index.html).

E-learning courses can also be difficult to localise, which brings its own audience limitations. Those language barriers, along with the sheer amount of content that needs creating makes it hard - and time-consuming - to make great content.

Today, customers are used to personalised experiences. Standing out in the deluge of content requires tailored communication and this hasn’t escaped the learning industry either: customers don’t want a generic, one-size-fits-all approach.

There needs to be solutions for the problems faced by those in the e-learning industry - and [an AI-powered eLearning course creator](/content/tools/ai-training-course-generator/index.html) might just be the answer. Up until now the easiest solution has been to use animation rather than real humans; an approach that is more efficient but much less engaging than content featuring human presenters. AI-driven content creation has the ability to revolutionise [eLearning course development](/content/post/elearning-video-production/index.html) by merging an efficient production pipeline with human-first content.

You might have seen those [AI videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiiSAvKJIHo) doing the rounds, the ones that have people dropping their jaws in awe at the sight of them. Those videos are generated by AI technology.

Here are **3 ways that AI-generated content will change the e-learning industry.**

## 1. Course translation: Remove the language barriers

Research shows that [72 percent of consumers](https://hbr.org/2012/08/speak-to-global-customers-in-t) prefer products with information in their own language. Currently, translating an e-learning course to another language is done by [dubbing or subtitling](/content/post/best-video-translator-apps/index.html). Both of these methods have limitations and severely reduce the quality of the video.

AI-generated content turns such problems on its head. It has the power to [create the same video with multiple languages](https://www.bbc.com/news/av/technology-46104437), as if each language was uniquely filmed for its audience. It offers a seamless translation without reducing quality - and can be delivered with speed and easy integration.

Suddenly, language barriers become a thing of the past.

## 2. Course Customization

Personalisation is no longer a desire for customers; it’s an expectation. They want content that includes some form of bespoke approach.

With AI video, you can insert tailored scenes into courses that speak to a specific company or person. And you don’t need to spend hours or days on a set re-creating the scenes.

For example, if you are creating a [customer-service training course](/content/post/customer-service-training-videos/index.html) for retail employees you might want to insert a section on company specific returns and exchange policy. Or there might be a specific way in which you address customers based on industry or geography and you would like to implement this into the material.

## 3. Virtual Presenters

It’s [estimated that a one-hour e-learning course takes between 90 to 240 hours](https://www.leadinglearning.com/cost-to-create-e-learning/) to develop, with a whole course costing around £8,000. From length to cost, the numbers involved are quite staggering.

[AI-generated content](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=279qKem3mao) drastically cuts down both time and cost, thanks to virtual presenters. Imagine only needing to film your presenter once in a professional studio, then creating any new content with them simply reading scripts from the video camera on their phone - in their house.

You can update content as and when you need it. Future tech means that AI-generated content will even be able to create video streams from only a script. You will only need to use the presenter for the initial recording.

## A better way of making e-learning courses

We live in a world where technology empowers us to innovate. With innovation comes a better way of doing things. AI-generated content will be to e-learning what YouTube was to video.
