Meet ProfessorDoc the Nutrition Course Voki

April 20, 2008

I am pleased to introduce My Voki,* or a talking voice character, a computer-generated version of myself, Dr. Kirsti A. Dyer a.k.a ProfessorDoc. She will give you a brief introduction to the Nutrition and Wellness Blog.

I’ll probably use the Voki for other brief explanations in the course, especially for the Online Section of the course. To hear the message, simply click on the arrow in the frame below.

* Voki comes from Vox + Loki = Voki. “Vox” is Latin for voice and “Loki” is a prankster character in Norse Mythology.

You can see the another Voki that I created at the Ruminations of an Online Instructor / MD blog .
