"Virtual human" technology is being applied in the education sector in some countries to improve the learning experience and enhance teaching efficiency.

Virtual teachers and learning assistants: In some schools and online education platforms in the US and Korea, virtual teachers are used to teach students basic subjects, support explaining exercises and answering questions. Virtual learning assistants can personalize the learning experience based on each student's ability.

Language training: Virtual humans have become popular in language learning applications, such as Mondly and HelloTalk, helping learners practice conversations with virtual characters. These assistants can simulate natural voice, intonation and language usage, making learners feel like they are chatting with a real person.

Interactive instruction and experiential learning: In STEM and medical lectures, virtual characters help students practice on simulated models without the need for real tools. For example, in Japan, some universities have applied this technology in teaching anatomy, helping medical students access and interact with detailed virtual body models.

Soft skills training: Virtual humans have been used to train soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and leadership. In training sessions in the US, virtual characters can act as customers or colleagues, helping learners practice responding to situations effectively.

Interview simulation and career development: Some schools and training organizations use virtual characters in job interview simulations, helping students and employees better prepare for real-life situations. These characters will ask common interview questions, observe users' expressions, and provide feedback for improvement.

School psychological support: At some universities in Europe, virtual characters are used to provide psychological support, helping students relieve stress and receive basic advice before meeting with a real psychologist.

These applications not only enhance the interactivity in learning but also help learners absorb knowledge effectively, become more confident in communication skills and problem solving.
