Abstract
The talking-head animation has potential in attracting students’ attention and as such, it can be used as an effective instructional tool in various learning conditions. However, its use could cause emotional disturbances and feelings of uneasiness among learners. Especially, if the design of the talking-head character is too realistic that resembles an actual human. Such condition is also known as the Uncanny Valley phenomenon. In this paper, a research conceptual framework on the role of talking-head animation with varying levels of realism and its effects on students’ emotions in learning will be addressed. In particular, the discussion will be grounded on the relevant theories and principles and also based on review of the relevant literature.
