Using AI in E-Learning Design #452: Challenge | Recap

When it comes to e-learning, today's authoring apps make it easier than ever to build interactive training. 

But here's the thing, even with today's modern apps and rich feature sets, building great learning experiences still takes time and expertise. You've got to juggle mastering new content, nailing the visual design, and doing it all under tight or unrealistic deadlines. Sounds familiar, right?

Now, this is where AI apps can be game changers by helping you do more with less. So, whether you're generating quiz questions and feedbackanimating characters, or transforming text into captivating images, there's likely an AI-based app that can help speed up production. And that's what this week's challenge is all about.

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to share an example that shows how AI can be used to create e-learning. When you post your example, please briefly describe the app(s) you used to create your demo.

✨ Share Your E-Learning Work

  • Comments: Use the comments section below to link your published example and blog post.
  • Forums: Start a new thread and share a link to your published example.
  • Personal blog: If you have a blog, please consider writing about your challenges. We'll link to your posts so your great work gets even more exposure.
  • Social media: If you share your demos on Twitter or LinkedIn, try using #ELHChallenge so your tweeps can follow your e-learning coolness.

📅 Next Week’s Challenge

  • Challenge #453 (03.08): Using dials in e-learning. If you're new to dials, you should check out next week's dials webinar to get an overview of dials and how they work. 
  • Challenge #454 (03.15): Using variables in e-learning. This variables challenge will be different because you'll be asked to share a demo that uses all three variables.

🚨 Contact Information

Just a quick heads up – if you want your blog, website, or LinkedIn included in our recap posts, could you do me a favor and add or update those links onto your ELH profile sometime this week?

I found some broken links last week when I pulled the recap together. You spend a lot of time building creative examples, and your work deserves all the attention it can get.

    Yay! I did this one early so I have it ready for you. I made an interactive syllabus for an (imaginary) introduction to Shakespeare course. I used Adobe Firefly for images, ChatGPT for the syllabus text and script, and Elevenlabs for the voiceover audio.

    I wrote about the process on my blog as well:

    Side note: I would love to learn more about how people can use AI to give instant feedback - for example, a learner types in a response and the AI gives some guidance based on what they typed. If anyone has done this, please share!

      Let it be known that thy efforts have truly enriched the minds and souls of all who partake in this digital feast. Well done, thou paragon of educational prowess! Thy talents doth inspire awe and admiration in equal measure.

      That's how Shakespeare would say, "Good job, thanks for posting!"

        Pray, accept my humble gratitude, for thy kind indulgence doth warm my heart. May fortune smile upon thee, and may our paths cross again in merry circumstance. (That is how Shakespeare would say "Thank You" according to ChatGPT.) :D
  • Hello!

    I really like the 360° image viewer, but I don't get enough opportunities to use it. It can be quite difficult to find the right equirectangular image to support your content and tricky to create your own without specialized software or equipment.

    Then I discovered Blockade Labs! Using their Skybox AI, you can create 360° images from scratch, tailored to your content.

    I've also used an AI Text To Music app to create the 'theme tune', and ChatGPT to write the Javascript that controls the slider-based 'altimeter'.

    Because I have used motion paths and emphasis animations on the four 360° images, early versions of the demo kept crashing on repeat plays. ChatGPT helped me fix that, too!

      Thanks for this Jonathan. Blockade Labs has got much better over the last 6 months. I found it wasn't creating good enough graphics before that.
      THANK YOU for including the ChatGTP conversation in the resources. I learned so much from how you interacted with the AI - never knew it could be so helpful!

        Thanks Justin. I received some training on using LLMs that demonstrated if you're polite - and also use 'emotional appeals' like, "I really need this to work to get my boss off my back" - the quality of the outputs is higher.

        Pays to be nice. Same as it ever was.
