FORT MILL, S.C. and TEL AVIV, Israel, May 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Skilldora, an Ed-Tech startup and eLearning platform and app, and D-ID the world leader in Generative AI and creative media, today announced a milestone in generative AI learning with the accreditation of its online certification programs instructed by AI Avatar Presenters. The unique offering makes Skilldora the first and only officially accredited eLearning provider teaching using only AI instructors. D-ID's Creative Reality™ technology creates the digital human instructors who are programmed to teach courses of all types.

The accreditation shows the maturity and viability of AI instructor-led education and marks a turning point in the digital transformation of education, demonstrating an increasing openness to utilizing advanced technologies to provide tailored, efficient learning experiences and outcomes.

"Skilldora's use of digital humans presents a powerful opportunity for engagement and consistency in online teaching. The accreditation shows how seriously the eLearning market can adopt this model."

"Skilldora's ability to pioneer the use of AI presenters in education and earn global accreditation in the process is a win for all educators, institutions and universities across the world who seek a more sustainable future amidst teacher shortages and learning loss recovery efforts post Covid," said DeMario and Dawn Nicole McIlwain, Skilldora's Co-Founders. "We're proud to have used D-ID's generative AI technology to introduce AI-based education with truly professional outcomes and a quality of learning as solid as a traditional third-party accreditation."

In eLearning digital human teachers are acting as an extension of human teaching to meet a wide range of needs including  teacher shortages, burn out, ESOL (English to speakers of other languages), digital tutoring and accelerating learning loss recovery.

The awarding body, the CPD Standards Office, means that learners will now earn accredited professional certifications through any of Skilldora's online programs across five learning categories (i.e. personal development, professional development, leadership development, career advancement, entrepreneurship, etc.) earning Continuing Professional Development credits or CPDs upon successful completion.
