Three changes I made:

  • Changed tab block to a process block, allowing for more interaction and visuals + audio.
  • I kept to a color scheme that aligned with the overall course theme. I thought this created consistency throughout, and it was easy to keep to this theme with a custom style in the image generation interface.
  • Added multiple audio elements to replace text, allowing for a constant narrator throughout while reducing text-heavy blocks.

 

Most valuable AI feature or capability:

  • Highlighting or selecting a section of text -> Edit w/ AI -> Generate AI image prompt -> copy and paste into AI image generator. The process of finding images was extremely shortened due to this feature, and it is one I will be using ASAP at work.
  • "Talking" with the AI assistant while it was editing text, specifically the quiz at the end, was very helpful. I had the opportunity to edit in real time and fine-tuned my prompting skills.
  • Instant convert is also a favorite. I wish there were more options with this, but I did see an option for images in beta so that makes me excited.

 

Challenges:

  • One consistent challenge I have with gen AI is not having the ability to provide exclusionary terms, e.g., "no words on the whiteboard" when trying to generate an image. AI will take those words and ensure they are included in the picture, which is frustrating at times. It does a better job with text.

I agree, the ability to generate an AI prompt from text is awesome. I wish there was a shortcut on that menu to just generate the image from there if you are building an image/text block for example. Maybe in the future!

I really like how you used your brand color throughout, even in your images- it felt very cohesive. Did you use your hex code in your image prompts or how did you do this so well?  I also like the condensed course menu on the left. I haven't used that one yet but it looks modern and clean.

    Thanks for checking it out, Sabrina. I did see that if you instant-covert to the Image + Text block (Beta) it does generate an image to start with, have you tried that out yet?

    For this project I did just use the built-in "Blueberry" color. Some of the really intense colors almost "vibrate" and can be hard to see in heavy usage. I do typically use the hex code of my client's primary brand color in the theme, and then if I use an image style where it makes sense to leverage the color, I do include the hex code there as well.

    I have always used the full left menu as a lot of learners like seeing their progress more clearly. I've just started using the condensed menu for SME / Stakeholder reviews where they will have the Comments panel open as well, to maximize the view of the full content area. The plan is to go back to the full left menu when we publish at the end. It's great to have so many options. I'm often concerned with accessibility issues in eLearning and many things that are fun and engaging for me personally can be a problem for people using screen readers or with color blindness or dyslexia or any number of things, so I admit to letting a few of those restrictions go for the purpose of playing with this project. I do recommend checking out the following if you want to learn more about accessibility topics! The contrast checker is my most used resource.
