This was an incredible experience. I learned techniques that will save me a significant amount of time. The ability to generate content from almost anything, have a subject matter expert review and approve it, and then seamlessly build it out for further review is truly impressive. I also really appreciated being able to guide the AI on formatting, which eliminates the need to constantly adjust branding elements like color. The final exercise was especially enjoyable—I found myself exploring all the lessons and actively applying what I had learned. Here is a link to my Rise project One challenge we have experienced is that the AI isn't very good at acronyms in Accounting. We have to spell things out phonetically so they are pronounced correctly. But it does give us a good giggle!! 🤩 Can you guess our company color?

Hello to all! What a great experience this has been. Here is a link to my course, if anyone wants to to a peek. https://share.articulate.com/YuYWaqNud2eCze8HCs2K- The three changes I made were: Adding a custom block with audio. I love custom blocks so much and created one at the start of each of the lessons. AI Generated images with custom style prompts for all images in the course. What a way to ensure consistency in images across a build. I tend towards MCM so I used that in my prompt. Changed Feedback type by removing the reference to correct/incorrect. I never liked the duplicative wording and love that I can now easily remove it. I made other changes, color, block width, dividers, etc. to make chunk on the content like many that have posted before me.As for which AI feature I intend to use the most, it's definitely the "sync text and objects to audio" in Storyline. Almost all of my builds includes some text appearing on screen in time with audio, so this will be something I leverage often. For challenges, honestly, it was learning to be better at writing image prompts. I sort of gave up on AI image generation (sorry!) but now that I have practiced a bit and know to use the custom style prompts, I look forward to using it more and more. Big thanks to Articulate and everyone here. Love the community of learning.🤩

Hi everyone! 👋 Here is the Quick Share link to my course: https://share.articulate.com/QHvA_RK1Rq3CKMpBx-zK5 Changes I Made to the Course I made three key enhancements to the course. First, I used the AI Assistant to generate and customize course goals, a self-check quiz, and course takeaways, each presented in separate lessons. Structuring this content as standalone elements allows learners to clearly understand the course objectives and key concepts upfront. It also helps them align expectations and assess their baseline knowledge before engaging with the main course content. Most Valuable AI Features Several AI features stood out as especially valuable, and I plan to apply them immediately in my current projects. These include the custom AI image prompt feature, the ability to generate tailored images, and saving reusable image styles. In my role designing highly technical software curriculum, it is often difficult to find visuals that accurately represent complex concepts. Additionally, sourcing, organizing, and reusing visual assets can be time-consuming. These AI capabilities streamline that process by allowing me to create precise, content-aligned visuals while building a consistent and reusable image library. This not only improves visual quality and relevance but also enhances efficiency in both content creation and asset management. Surprises One feature that surprised me was the synonym recommendation tool. While the suggestions were helpful, I found it difficult to replace the original words with the recommended alternatives within the course—I may need to better understand how to use this feature effectively. I was also surprised that there isn’t currently a prompt that enables the AI Assistant to review an entire course for accessibility compliance—such as evaluating interactions, images, graphics, audio, and video against accessibility standards. This would be a highly valuable capability. Challenges One challenge I encountered was generating AI images that include correctly spelled text. Although the visuals themselves were accurate, the text within the images frequently contained misspellings. Another challenge was trying to add undo and redo functionality to the floating “Edit in AI” toolbar. I spent time exploring this but was not able to determine how to enable those options. Feedback on My Cohort Experience This has been a great learning experience. I really enjoyed the cohort’s learning design and overall course structure. The low-pressure environment, combined with the ability to revisit the content at any time for review or reinforcement, made the experience seamless and engaging. It allowed me to comfortably listen, watch, learn, practice, and assess my understanding without feeling overwhelmed. 🏆🌟 Thank you, Ayana 😃

This was my attempt at using AI in course development. https://share.articulate.com/8RebGs3AAijhMmtCPYoOY I improved engagement by chunking content into smaller sections, adding continue bars for pacing, and using AI to create a summary and quiz at the end. I also added custom images, a scenario, a matching activity, and converted a list into a timeline to make the content easier to follow and more interactive. The most valuable feature was the AI Block tool. It helped me adjust tone, restructure content, and save time during development. One challenge was the scenario character options. I was limited to preset characters and could not create or adjust them to fully match the context I wanted. Thanks for this cohort. It was a great way to learn and practise.

Hi Natacha! I agree, those block tools can be a real time-saver when editing! I also really liked your use of the scenario in your sample. I hear your frustration with the preset characters. I have seen this example before as a workaround, check out this article and see if it's helpful for you. I DO know it's possible to embed a Storyline activity inside of rise as well, so a scenario could also be customized there and then embedded in!

Hi, everyone! Here's my course:
https://share.articulate.com/vIOVa-JAljACB7Q0jbzLg

Three changes I made to the course draft to improve learner engagement:

Added a conversation with audio narration for more variety and real-life feel.

Added AI images to support course topics.

Shortened the verbiage throughout to reduce reading fatigue.

The AI feature most valuable to my workflow was quiz creation. Time saved with AI writing answer-based remediation by response is incredible. Another one is using the custom style feature when creating images.

The most common challenge I had was getting the AI to consistently update font colors for the first few words within lists.

I can't wait to put what I learned into use in my current course development and share with our other designers.

Hi everyone, here is my submission:

https://share.articulate.com/rMD9AF6ZfGe7YJNdPVKGv

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

I added interaction instructions throughout the course (e.g., prompting learners to expand sections, select tabs, flip cards, etc.) to guide learners through the content and provide technical direction for learners who may be unfamiliar with Rise's interactive blocks.

I added images throughout the course to complement the text, break up content-heavy sections, and enhance learner engagement.

I restructured long text blocks into shorter sections/chunks, to reduce cognitive load and improve readability.

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

AI Convert and Edit with AI were standout AI features for me. Both significantly reduced the time spent refining and enhancing the AI-generated content.

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

I had difficulty generating AI images that consistently aligned with the custom style and prompts.

I changed the theme colour, added knowledge checks and added ai generated images.

Which AI feature or capability was most valuable in your workflow, and why? Did anything about it surprise you?
Rapid Content Structuring and Reorganization was the most valuable feature. When I received the three source documents (PDF, PPTX, DOCX), the AI instantly analysed all the content, identified natural groupings, and proposed a logical three-lesson structure that built progressively from foundations (workplace happiness) to application (finding purpose) to leadership responsibility (mental health support).

What challenges did you face when trying to get AI to produce the results you wanted?
The source documents had varying tones—the PDF was formal, the PPTX was casual, the DOCX was instructional. The AI's first draft mixed these tones within single paragraphs. I had to request a consistent "professional but approachable" voice throughout and provide examples of what that sounded like.

3 changes I made:

Used AI to create reflective question for learner to consider at the end of each lesson based on the lesson's concepts.

Used AI to create a knowledge check before the end of each lesson based on the key concepts of the lesson.

Used AI to convert text to flip cards, process blocks, and sorting blocks to better break up the content and engage learners.

AI feature most valuable in my workflow:

The Create AI Image Prompt was by far the most helpful feature. The images align with each other and my theme. I didn't have to rack my brain thinking of an image concept. I was surprised how consistent the images were.

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

Text in AI images was sometimes difficult to prompt out.

When using AI to edit text, I found myself wanting to click in the AI text box to refine. Since you can't do that, I would accidentally click out of the whole AI text editor and have to start over.

Some of the knowledge checks did not follow my directions and left out key details.

Changes: Lots of AI text changes, added a few images and AI audio, added questions with choice specific feedback.

MVP AI: Text changes using "Edit with AI", though image gen is runner up

Challenge: Sometimes the AI would take several evolutions of a prompt to do something that seems simple, but I think this is common for AI use.

  jessicafry I fully understand your challenge with wrestling with AI to do something that should be simple. That's where I still get a little frustrated with the AI assistant at times for certain things because it can't "learn" and be trained the same way some other AI programs can.

Does anyone know if you can add the instructions from the Magic Text Import to a Magic Lesson Import and it builds in those block formats? Like could I create a scenario using the templates provided in Magic Text Import and put it as part of the Magic Lesson and it would recognize that template and build it? Thanks!

Here is my course edition:

https://share.articulate.com/u5Fsax0zYXmi2MY7faBvG

I made a few updates to improve engagement. First, I chunked content into smaller sections instead of large blocks so it’s easier to read and retain. I also added custom AI-generated images to better match the content and make it feel less generic. Finally, I streamlined everything into a more microlearning style, focusing on key takeaways and removing extra “nice-to-know” details.

The most valuable AI feature for me was content structuring (especially grouping and chunking) it saved time and made the course more learner-friendly. I was also surprised by how impactful the AI image prompts were they really elevated the overall look and feel.

One challenge I ran into was getting AI to match my exact vision right away. I often had to refine my prompts a few times to get the structure and tone just right.

AlyssaGomez is there a way to move content between/across Rise pages? So you don't have to create the same web part multiple times - when you need the same disclaimer on each Rise page, for example.
Also, can you move Rise pages from your "All Content" view to the Team or Personal folders? I have content that is published and some that isn't. I need these sorted!! Please let me know. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
