Turning written material into audio

Text to speech used to sound like a machine reading the terms and conditions. It is now good enough to turn lecture notes, summaries and instructions into audio that students might plausibly choose to listen to. This brief introduction shows when the use of audio can support your teaching.

This resource was developed under the project titled Empowering Education: Exploring AI for Teaching and Learning at ZHAW. The project was created in response to the 2025 Transformative Education Fund, or TEF, project call.
Its purpose is to make knowledge about artificial intelligence more accessible to teachers and to support its thoughtful use in teaching.
The full course is available at ZHAW under: https://moodle.zhaw.ch/course/view.php?id=24401
