Revolutionising Faculty Development and Continuing Medical Education Through AI-Generated Videos
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Producing high-quality and engaging educational videos for continuing medical education (CME) is traditionally time-consuming and costly. Generative AI tools have shown promise in creating synthetic videos that mimic traditional lecture videos. We conducted a comparative analysis of four AI video generation platforms HeyGen, Synthesia, Colossyan, and HourOne using the Kano model. Our analysis revealed that HeyGen met most of our requirements. We created two videos and collected feedback from 25 learners. The feedback indicated that the videos were of good quality, engaging, and well-paced for learning. Only 32% recognised the videos as AI-generated, citing limited facial expressions, hand gestures and monotone vocal expression. Importantly, only 24% considered disclosure of AI-generated content necessary. This research indicates that AI-generated videos can be a viable alternative to traditionally produced educational videos. It offers an efficient, cost-effective solution for producing educational content. Ethical considerations regarding AI content disclosure should be addressed to maintain transparency.
