    I'm excited to try this one out. In the meantime, flagging that the link for "animating characters" in the description isn't working for me.

      How fun, loved all these examples. The lyrics, the song, video. I can't sing either, so nice to know AI can.

    Here's a Rise microlearning that I set up as if it were a recap of a live event about leading effective meetings. I used Canva's text-to-image feature for the images and Bing chat for inspiration on the content. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/4ad1491f-ed70-447a-be24-d69c79d24b18/review

    Not entirely sold on AI image generation yet - with Canva text-to-image and other image generating AI I've explored. It took some time to find images I'm happy with and that don't have some warped creepy component; I actually used Snag It to sometimes hide some demonic eyes or sixth warped finger, etc. for the images in this microlearning. Anyone else finding that or know a hack?

    I tried another way to be supported by AI. ChatGPT should give me an e-learning draft in terms of text and content. I wrote an instruction for ChatGPT to create this text, quiz and give proposals for graphics to be used within e-learning. My instruction is very general and can be used for many topics.

    In my instruction the word TOPIC need to be replaced by the "real topic" of the e-Learning.

    Example: Replace "TOPIC" with "CAR INSURANCE" or "ASTRONOMY" or "PAPERMAKING", if this should be the focus of your e-learning.

    The ChatGPT outcome should be used as draft only and need to be finalised by "a human".
    It might make sense to delete some aspects in the instructions text, depending on the focused topic.

    Give the instruction text (see below) to ChatGPT. ChatGPT might stop all of a sudden in the middle of a sentence when writing a lot. Then force it to go on with the comand "continue previous" and it will go on there without missing a word.

    Please excuse the imperfect english wording. I created everything in german language and translated it into english with deepl.com.

    Have fun and some new ideas for your e-learning topics.

    Instructions for ChatGPT (after replacing "TOPIC"):

    Develop the content for an e-learning course about TOPIC. The goal of the e-learning course is for the learner to gain a positive understanding of TOPIC, be able to explain TOPIC to others, and be able to use TOPIC for their own purposes.
    The e-learning course shall be designed and written for participants with no previous knowledge of TOPIC.
    The e-learning course should consist of as much different information, viewpoints and perspectives on TOPIC as possible.
    The e-learning course consists of individual slides. Each slide will cover one topic at a time.
    Among other things, the slides should contain detailed explanations of the following:
    - Definition of TOPIC
    - Explanation of what TOPIC is
    - History of TOPIC
    - Development of TOPIC
    - How TOPIC works
    - Influence of TOPIC on mankind
    - TOPIC in the business environment
    - TOPIC in private households
    - TOPIC in interpersonal relationships
    - TOPIC in science
    - TOPIC and other fields of application
    - Examples of TOPIC in all these fields of application
    - Provider of TOPIC
    - Training offer in the field of TOPIC
    - Learning TOPIC
    - Costs for TOPIC
    - Income by means of TOPIC
    - TOPIC as a profession
    - Risks of TOPIC
    - Opportunities of TOPIC
    - Ethics of TOPIC
    - Use of TOPIC in different cultures
    Work on at least ten other topics not listed so far, which have to be mentioned and explained in connection with TOPIC.
    Write detailed explanations with a minimum of 80 words and a maximum of 250 words per slide. Write the explanations in easy-to-understand language.
    For each slide, propose a visual design in terms of background image, detail image, and type of image (photograph, illustration, cartoon drawing, or man-made image).
    For each slide, make a suggestion for a typical e-learning interaction with the learner.
    Conclude the e-learning course with 15 questions that can be answered using the previously given explanations. Give at least three possible answers to each question. Finally, give the solutions to the questions.

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to share an example I created for the interactive eLearning challenge, which is also relevant to this category. I hope it's alright to repost it here. I used the Synthesia video generation tool to produce the video and audio, and for the script and question writing, I used ChatGPT. The video serves as a training demo for pharmaceutical sales representatives and features scenario-based content with accompanying questions. I aimed to create a seamless flow and optimal learning experience for the learners.

    Hello everyone I am glad to share my example. It was the first time I tried to use Ai in my work and it was the fastest challenge in my life.

    The text was made by the GPT chat in just 3 requests. Next I used https://lexica.art / to generate images and https://fontjoy.com/ to select a font pair.

    Then, I slightly corrected the image in the Figma and that's what I got: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/d0e570d8-0c7a-44a2-b59c-91f33ef2cbbc/review
