Week 2 - Group 1 Discussion

Three changes I made:

1. My project was superhero themed, with the leader being consistent throughout the course. Each AI image was changed to fit this theme and thoughtfully curated to align with content. I also added some images in areas and deleted some in others to balance the course as best I could.
2. I used AI to change the tone of the entire course to align with the theme as well. I played with the feature a little and found the result I was looking for by requesting a "casual and exciting tone". Minor tweaks were made throughout, but overall, it worked very well.
3. I used the instant convert feature and converted course blocks to be consistent in each lesson and to better deliver the content being presented.

Most useful AI tool:

1. I think the Magic Text feature will be most applicable in my role at my organization. While I didn't use it in this course, I found the video tutorials very interesting and helpful. I am an eLearning Developer at an insurance company and the content we work with is not to be paraphrased or reworked. Our SMEs are knowledgeable and the experts on the content we create- so we don't want to change the verbiage in any way.
2. In this course, I found the most useful and effective tool in AI to be the instant convert feature and the ability to change the tone of the way content is presented to the learner.

Challenges:

1. With custom AI images, it's difficult to produce what you envision and maintain a consistent theme throughout the course. I think it's possible, but very time consuming heavily depends on what you're looking to generate (I certainly chose a challenging theme for my course).
2. I struggled with the added elements and what I would describe as "filler" content that AI adds based on the source documents uploaded. When you don't have the content memorized, it's not simple to analyze where AI has made mistakes and maybe added too much or included incorrect information. It kind of feels like undoing a puzzle and putting it back together again. I think AI is definitely a very useful tool for a starting point though, as was conveyed in the instructors' videos.
