ChalkTalk: Globalizing Data Science Education with AI-generated Videos (Kene David Nwosu)

Описание: In his talk, Kene David Nwosu, the curriculum director at GraphCourses, discusses the challenges and opportunities in creating educational video content for data science. He highlights the importance of video in education while acknowledging the high costs and frustrations associated with video production. Kenneth introduces the concept of 'vibe coding,' which integrates large language models and text-to-speech technology to simplify video creation. He emphasizes that while AI can assist in app development, foundational programming knowledge remains essential for effective communication and addressing potential security issues. Ultimately, Kenneth advocates for the continued relevance of programming education in the age of AI.

ChalkTalk: Globalizing Data Science Education with AI-generated Videos

💬 Speaker(s): Kene David Nwosu

📝 Abstract:

We present ChalkTalk, an open-source tool that converts Quarto documents into engaging educational videos with AI-powered voices and avatars. By adding simple text-to-speech (TTS) and text-to-video (TTV) attributes to markdown files, educators can automatically generate multilingual video content while maintaining the reproducibility benefits of Quarto. At The GRAPH Courses, where we've trained over 3,000 learners globally, we are testing out this tool to scale our video content creation. We'll demonstrate its integration with Quarto and present preliminary findings from our A/B testing with students.
