Week 2 - Group 1 Discussion

Hello! Here is the link to the course I built. This was my first AI generated course, and I really enjoyed working through this challenge.

1. Three changed made to improve learner engagement (and why)
   • I used the AI image generator to add imagery throughout the course. I used imagery to divide up lesson content and invoke emotion. I tested out using custom image styles and prompts based on some of the text generated in the AI course draft.
   • I rewrote the knowledge checks to be scenario-driven based on actions and behaviors. I also refined the correct/incorrect feedback text to be more concise and support learning objectives.
   • I used the writing assistant and custom text prompts to create a hook-style introduction to speak to the learner and create connection. I rewrote quite a bit of the text to be more conversational and deleted duplicative text/concepts to be more concise.
2. Most valuable AI feature and why

I really love the writing assistant feature. This helped me take the AI generated content and bring in the creative side of design and development, creating more scenario-driven text that is relatable for the learner. I was surprised by the quality of the output and how easy it was to change the entire tone of the course. I also really loved the instant convert feature. This saves a lot of time and again allows for more capacity to prototype various interactions and presentation styles within a course that I may not typically have the time or capacity to work though in a project.

3. Challenges using AI

The biggest challenges I had in this course were creating cohesive images that reflected course content or aligned my idea. I am new to writing image prompts and tested a few of the techniques presented in this course including custom styles and prompts from course text. I have room for improvement here!
