Week 2 - Group 2 Discussion

Here's my course: https://share.articulate.com/w-DsdGPAevO5Wkrukuph- (sorry y'all, my trackpad won't let me turn off guestbook. I'll try to fix it when I get home to my mouse)

Share 3 changes you made to the Rise AI Course Draft to improve learner engagement. Why did you make those changes to your project?

I made some stylistic theme changes throughout to create more structure around the content. In terms of the AI Assistant features, I've done a few audio blocks, did a custom image style throughout while also highlighting text to generate AI image prompts, and created a hook to the opening paragraph. I also generated a quiz for the end. I also ended up adding a lot of continue buttons to chunk the content lol. Ultimately, I made the changes to create a cohesive brand or experience.

Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? Did anything about it surprise you?

I really played with the custom image style to see if I could get it to match our brand or colors. I think what's most valuable is the audio narration, and creating a mini podcast of sections that people can listen to instead of reading. Having done a ton of voiceover work on my own courses over the years, this is a godsend.

What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?

Sometimes with images, I had to generate more than once, to get a "seamless" image for the section. I didn't want hard edges and said so in my custom prompt. Also if I asked it to have a certain hexcode for the background, it'd get close occasionally but not exact.
