Three changes you made (and many others):
(1) Prompted AI to rewrite course and lesson intros using an engaging hook.
(2) Created a roll-over image instead of an accordion to present 4 pillars.
(3) Created a job aid regarding mental health. This way manager can download and reference post completion.
Most valuable AI feature or capability:
Just the initial work done by AI saves tremendous amount of hours to create a new course. However, some sections/topics are not as aligned with the original documents/writing. In my practice, when text must be very carefully worded and sometimes meaning can be lost if you change sentences, this is a huge deal — I need to have screen by screen alignment session to make sure important thoughts and explanations did not get omitted or rewrote. Most of the time they get changed!
Challenges:
AI is a bit like a cranky teenager with a mind of their own… it rewrites a lot of original text. In my experience, some SME's are very particular how they want to word certain items.
Generating images. That is definitely a consistent struggle. Sometimes the text is written on a person’s face, sometimes the image does not produce what you think the prompt is stating, other times, results are great.
Original name was “Fostering team happiness and fulfillment for new managers”. Change it to “New Manager’s Guide to Happy and Fulfilled Teams”. I think it is more appealing to the audience. But, the AI generated “Building Happy and Fulfilled Teams: A Guide for New Managers” when the course got produced. I settled on “The Manager’s Guide to Building Teams That Thrive”.
Learning objectives. Three lessons and AI generated 3 different style learning objectives – one had Blooms taxonomy based, full sentence outcomes, the other had more of a topic based outline (all words from capital letters), and the 3rd lesson had something in between – statements with lower case letters.
Quiz. AI created multiple correct style answers for the question with one correct answer. Squares instead of circles.
This is a great write up of your experience, Inga! Were you able to find a balance where the AI assistant made the changes you wanted without changing the text?
For this exercise, I did not really worry too much about being close to the original text. If it was one of my work projects, I would have spent some time looking at the original side-by-side with the course and copying-pasting some verbiage, and rewriting some other sentences. Of course, it is dependent of the topic and the SME (some of them are more peculiar than others).
