Week 2 - Group 1 Discussion

Course: Leading Positive and Purposeful Teams: A Guide for New Managers

Three changes I made to improve learner engagement:

1. I opened Lesson 2 with a brief workplace scenario to immediately connect the content to a realistic management challenge.
2. I transformed the “Types of Work Motivations” flashcards into a sorting activity so learners could apply the concepts instead of only reading about them.
3. I added an audio-guided Custom Reflection Block and a supporting Reflection Questions document to encourage learners to connect healthy leadership behaviours to their own practice.

Most valuable AI capability

The AI quiz-generation feature was the most valuable capability in my workflow. Rise AI was able to build a complete quiz from scratch based on the course content, significantly reducing the time required to develop the assessment. I was surprised by how quickly it generated relevant questions that I could then refine by changing the feedback type and customizing the learner feedback.

Challenges

When I used Instant Convert, some details from the original content were occasionally lost, so I had to compare the converted block with the source and restore missing information. Some generated images also had a noticeably AI-created appearance. Achieving more natural and relevant visuals required refining the prompts and generating several versions.
