Week 2 - Group 1 Discussion

Hi all!

I love seeing others' examples and the work they've come up with. As it happens, a colleague of mine is in this cohort as well, so we've been bantering about the work we've each been doing.

Without further adieu, here's my sample and takeaways: https://share.articulate.com/Nia8BgUDaQtzQ0WdOCJbX - EDIT: I updated the course with a new tone and voice since initial publication, but the core is the same. Enjoy some fun changes!

1. Share 3 changes you made:
   1. I converted several interactions, especially the drop-down interactions, to tab format. If I had more time, I'd also add images and AI audio where appropriate.
   2. On a custom block, I formatted text, created AI images and added AI audio.
   3. I used the AI Summary feature to create a draft, then made edits and additions with the AI text.
   4. Bonus 1: I used AI to update the quiz questions, answers and feedback.
   5. Bonus 2: In the summary, I added an AI Avatar, even though it's technically only available through labs.
2. Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? Did anything about it surprise you? The quiz creation and editing were key for me. I'm terrible at writing questions and coming up with answers and feedback, so it bridges a gap and cuts out a lot of work for me.
3. What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted? As others have said, the prompting with AI images was challenging, despite having used various tools to generate AI images. I also noticed that for multiple answer questions in the quiz, the questions it created only had one correct answer, so I was "forced" to AI edit those questions to actually be multiple response.

This is not my first run at creating a course using the AI assistant and it was interesting seeing how in this case, the course was VERY interaction heavy as compared to when I created my first two courses. It would be worth thinking about the nature of the sources and how the initial prompt combined with adding directions for how each source should be used might impact that.

One other note I appreciated - Sometimes, when generating my AI images, it would use the same "characters" in some of the results, useful in keeping a consistent "cast" throughout the course. It would be great if you could use AI Assistant in Rise similar to how you can in Storyline, pasting an image then asking the AI to create variations using the same people in the source image.

Last quirk - when I previewed the course with my name included, it did something really weird with my picture. Something to submit to support, but thought I'd toss it out there:
