- Which AI Assistant feature felt most intuitive or useful to you during the practice activities?
- I really enjoy the AI image generator. The images AI can generate have come a long way since I first started using it. I also like the ability in Rise to convert text to an interactive activity. That helps save time.
- What surprised you about how AI handled text or media generation?
- I don't currently use sounds in my content, so the ability to generate voice overs and sound effects are interesting.
- Which editing tools (rewrite, shorten, change tone, etc.) did you find most valuable, and why?
- I like "shorten". We like our content to be a short as possible, but still cover the necessary information. This tool helps ensure we don't get too wordy with our courses.
- What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?
- In the Storyline sample, I used AI to add animations to the slide. I then asked AI to set the animation to trigger when the user clicked NEXT. The AI could not get that request to work correctly.
KyleNewell-4e9e The audio has been my number one used feature. We used to have a separate subscription to a AI voice platform, and we were able to get rid of it when this launched. Sometimes, I export the audio file and use it to make a video that can be used in the course.
DonielleB Do you use audio in every course? Or, what prompts you to use it versus not?
One reason I don't use it much, is most of my end users work in the field and may have spotty connections or may not have all of the equipment to hear narration. Also, I feel people can naturally read faster at their own pace instead of having to wait on a narrator, which may ultimately lead to frustration.KyleNewell-4e9e I do use audio in every course. I think it's helpful with engagement. While people can read faster, I think they tend to skim and move rapidly move through content, which doesn't ensure comprehension. I like starting courses off with short videos (I use audio here) and lately I've also been trying to use more of a storytelling format with my content. Audio is a must in this case.
That's awesome! I know one of our locations had a separate audio recording platform, and we've even had TransPerfect do some narration for us. The audio features are going to save some time and cost, for certain!
Hey KyleNewell-4e9e thanks for sharing about your experience! And you really put AI Assistant to the test by asking it to generate a trigger for you. 😄 It's currently not able to create triggers in Storyline, but hopefully that's something we can add in the future!
