A rapid review of using AI-generated instructional videos in higher education (Provisionally accepted) Nguyen Van Hanh, Frontiers

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as Synthesia, HeyGen, Sora, and Veo has introduced a new form of instructional material in higher education: AI-generated instructional videos (AIGIVs). This study conducts a rapid review of 15 studies published since 2023 to investigate how AIGIVs are being produced and used in higher education, focusing on the technologies used, pedagogical applications, and associated benefits and risks. Thematic synthesis reveals four overarching themes: (1) modes and technologies of AI-based instructional video generation, (2) applying AIGIVs for instructional and reflective pedagogies, (3) benefits of integrating AIGIVs into education, and (4) risks and challenges of integrating AIGIVs into education.
