Share 3 changes you made to the Rise AI Course Draft to improve learner engagement. Why did you make those changes to your project? Be specific!
- When I first generated the AI Course Draft, I chose to have it incorporate AI images and interactions. It built a great starting point but definitely needed refinement to fix some of the repetition of activities/blocks.
- I used AI to generate an image for the cover page. For the prompt, I used the Course Description we were provided to create an image prompt. I didn't like the first iterations that it provided, so I adjusted the prompt and changed the style to Cinematic Photo.
- I also used AI to simplify text in spaces where I noticed the the tell-tale AI em dash to make the course feel more human :)
- Edited the beginning of the Four Pillars of Team Happiness lesson using the Opening with a Hook strategy.
- Used AI to generate images for Flash Card activity.
- In the Purpose and Motivation at Work lesson I used AI Instant Convert to change the Understanding Purpose at Work section from flashcards to an accordion. Since I used Flash Cards on the first lesson, I wanted variation.
I did do other AI edits but didn't want to list them all out here - there'd be too many to list.
Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? Did anything about it surprise you?
- Learning about the AI Block Tools was especially helpful. I didn't realize the Instant Convert feature was an option before this cohort and many times would duplicate activities through copy/paste. This is such a time saver!
What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?
- As to be expected with AI, I found it difficult to keep consistency between AI images (especially for my flashcard activity).
I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot. Thank you!
I like your four pillar flip cards. The images make them much more appealing.
deniseclifford​ the extra effort you put into your image generation really paid off here. These don't look like cookie cutter stock images, but rather a custom designed course. Adding images into the tabbed interactions adds so much more interest! I also liked that you included the summaries after each section.
One thing I'd try in the next course is inserting more continue bars to slow learners down and force them to interact with things. Managers are the worst offenders for zipping through things without reading them, and without forced interactions, that's what they will do.
Overall though, this is well done.
