Focusing on the AI-rendering techniques demonstrated in the works of Mick Mahler, with his explicit permission, we explore the balance of creative expression and automated efficiency in producing high-quality animations. The research critically evaluates the effectiveness and artistic fidelity of AI-assisted processes in animation, using Mahler's innovative methods as a case study. It proposes a novel framework for incorporating AI in animation workflows, emphasizing enhancement of the animator's creative agency. The methodology includes a qualitative analysis of animations rendered with AI, a quantitative comparison to traditional methods, and experimental application of the proposed framework in animation projects. By bridging the gap between the technical prowess of AI and the creative vision of animators, this study seeks to enrich the toolkit of digital animators, fostering a collaborative relationship between advanced technology and artistic creativity.

It has been concluded that instructors used social networking sites efficiently in their courses as a result of the rich interactive applications that help students to learn easily. However scholars pointed out the challenges that face educators in adopting social media services as pedagogical tools due to different technical, personal, and psychological factors. The study suggested that social networking sites shifted the learning style into a new learning paradigm that is based on student's increased levels of interactivity in the learning process.

Scholars have pointed out the pivotal role of social media in learning due to the fact that these dynamic sites contain rich and varied communication tools that motivate learners to actively use different types of online educational resources, and to interact academically with their teachers and peers. The researchers will use the secondary data analysis to qualitatively to analyze the studies that examined the uses of social media in higher education from 2004 since the introduction of Web2.0 that allowed users to be key contributors in the virtual world till 2018. This paper aims at exploring the uses of social media among college students in learning. This includes watching demos and tutorials, using varied online learning resources, forming online learning groups with other colleagues for the purpose of completing group assignments and practical projects, seeking academic support and advice from their instructors remotely, etc. The findings of this research will suggest recommendations for higher educational institutions to effectively use and adopt social media applications in learning which will reflect positively on the quality of academic learning in colleges and universities.
